All too soon our time in Venice is over and we must board the train to go to Milan. Venice is a fantastic place to visit, with all its different types of architecture and many canals and bridges. Make sure you don’t miss any of the great sights such as the Rialto bridge (Bridge of Sighs), the Doges Palace, St Marco Square, St Marks Basilica or the outlying islands. And definately take a ride on a gondola just to say you did.

After standing for a while watching all the activity, we headed back to the main part of Venice and across San Marco…

Our guide pointed out the different styles of architecture in Venice as it had developed over the years, showing the influence in style of whichever political sphere of influence Venice was under at the time of building. We also visited a church that had magnificent tombs and paintings by Giovanni Bellini and Titan. All to soon it was time for us to take a trip on one…
We Get Tattooed in the Streets of Venice & It Rains in Venice

As we were leaving the Doge’s Palace it started bucketing down with rain. We sheltered along with all the other tourists waiting for the heavy rain to stop. The amazing thing about this is that the water rose to about calf level in a matter of minutes. And when the rain stopped, the water level subsided almost as quickly as it had risen and all that was left were a few puddles. So we headed of back across the square towards the hotel. We took our shoes off and scooted through the puddles like little kids. A lady approached us…
