It was again a long day on the bus from Rome to Venice. Up through Florence and Bologna then over the central ridge of mountains that run North to South through the entire country and on to Venice.
We couldn't take the bus over to our hotel as all ferries and public transportation are out on a strike. So all luggage had to be transferred to a boat over to our hotel on Lido Island. We took a water taxi to St. Marks square where we had a drink and listened to a band play for about an hour. Then it was off on a gondola ride with a musician who sang and played the accordian during the trip. Here are a bunch of the pictures that Deb took today. You can see she is fond of seeing clothes out on the line drying :)
After that we took a boat shuttle over to Lido Island where the annual film festival is held. On to supper and a relaxing evening just walking around the island.
Tomorrow we go to the islands of Murano (Glass blowing) and Burano (lace). Then a free evening before we head to Austria.
Ciao!
