Majestic is the one word I can use to describe Venice. We knew right after getting off the train, two days in Venice wouldn't be enough. We met up with Gray and Jess at our hotel, a pretty fabulous reunion, and the four of us set off for our first dinner in Venice. Our first full day in Venice included a tour (Rick Steves podcast style of course) of St Mark's Square. For a visual of this, think of a four person, two head phone shuttle through a busy square. Rather hilarious. We decided after a few hours in the hot tourist filled square and surrounding areas, that Venice at night would be much more enjoyable so nap time it was! We set off for more sights later in the evening, listening once again to Rick as he toured us down the Grand Canal. We arrived at a much cooler and less crowded St. Mark's square where we made it just in time to ride the escalator of the Campanelli to watch the sunset over Venice. Stunning. The pictures can tell you the rest but let me conclude by saying Venice is another destination we are already planning a to come back to.
