After a long time of planning and along trip we are finally in Venice. We arrived At Fuimicino at about 6.am and set off for Roma Centrale station. It wasnt so nerve wracking this time because we knew our way around the station and how the system worked.
We arrived in Venice late in the afternoon and haven't been disappointed with our hotel. after dragging our suitcases forty steps up and down the bridge, we we at our hotel.It is every bit as good as we hoped. Our room looks over the Canal and is therefore a bit noisy very early in the morning, but it is worth it.
Yesterday we walked all day, looked at mask and glassware and just cruised around. We found a great restaurante for dinner and ccame home exhausted.
Today we had to walk to the Galleria Accademia because the Vaporettos were on strike. Of course we got slightly lost, but arrived on time for our booking. I have discovered a love for the work of Vittore Carpaccio. He has a very wry eye.
We finally found the Guggenheim but it was closed. I wonder if we will be be able to find it again.
Have done quite bit of shopping already. We both love buying presents!
We caught a vaporetto home. It was a very sick baby and we really did wonder if we were going to make it. But it was preferable to using our very tired legs.
Tomorrow I will try to find out if I can post pics on this internet cafe
