A Gondola Ride Up The Canals of Venice
By traveltripz on May 15, 2007 in Venice, Europe, Italy
Part of the walking tour that we took around Venice included a ride on the public gondola. Here is Chilli waiting for his turn to hop into the gondola. Chilli is the stuffed dog that the ladies from work in Brisbane gave us to take on our trip. He has had quite an adventure so far.
One of the American girls took a shine to Chilli and made sure he got the best seat in the gondola and that he got to see all the best sights.
Riding in a gondola is a truly fascinating experience. We went up and down canals and under bridges. One of the canals was closed of with a type of sacking to keep the water back. Workers were plastering the walls below the waterline.

Incredible pics! I’ve always been intrigued with Venice. Nice to see something from a tourist’s perspective to reveal more of it.
Thanks for sharing!

Venice is awesome and experiencing how quickly the place went under water when it rains was something to see.
I would love to go back when they have the masked ball. That would be something to see.
