Venice is a wondrous place. Cindy & I tracked down our hotel after checking our bags at the train station. Then we were off to explore once again. Gondolas, churches, piazzas, cafes, San Marcos, Campanillo bell tower and tourists.
This is a picture taken from our cruise ship upon our arrival at 5:00am. It was exciting to see again the city we loved on our last visit.
Over the course of 2 full days we saw a number of things we saw before but relaxed a bit more. We didn't have to see everything we saw the first time. We rode the Vaporetto up and down the Grand Canal, listened to live music at the piazza San Marco in the evening, walked the streets looking in shop windows and at the people plus having gellato breaks every so often.
The last time in Venice we neglected to take a gondola ride. Everyone visiting Venice should indulge themselves and do it even though it is not cheap. The ride was nothing special but it was uniquely Venice.
I don't imagine we will ever go back to Venice. We have been there twice and loved it but there are other destinations to plan on seeing.
