Venice...

St Marks

Yes...it's the house with the Green Doors...just let me out in front.
Easy drive in...couple missteps as usual, but we made it to the Car ferry about 12:30pm...got the car on the ferry, found the hotel and were checked in by 1:30. A little lunch and then ferry over to Venice (we are staying on Lido). Venice is amazing and maybe the most awesome city I've seen. St Marks square and Basilica are outrageous, so many people, so much going on and the buildings are spectacular. The Rialto bridge and surrounding area are more crowded than the International Market Place in Honolulu, vendors everywhere selling any and everything. Quite the site. Wonderful meal at some little joint in the maze and then wondering around agog...ferried back to Lido exhausted. We can already see we will be pressed for time. Had a good night sleep at Le Boulevard Hotel and we are ready for day 2. Today, for sure, a Gondola ride and Murano...after that we'll see. Tomorrow we will spend the morning on Lido before heading back south to Alviano.
