On Sunday we took the fast train (2 hours) up to Venice - the floating city. All traffic in Venice is on the water and by foot. There are no cars, no motor bikes, no bicycles - everyone walks or takes a boat of some sort. Our "cruise" down the Grand Canal was on the "city bus" - a vaporetto. We stopped at every station so we spent about 40 minutes on the boat before we reached St. Mark's Square. The square is the heart of the city and we shared it with thousands of other tourists. After we saw the major sights together we were off on our own pursuits for several hours before meeting again at the train station in the evening. Eating, shopping and wandering around the 2000 streets and alleys that make up the maze of the city occupied our time. There is no other place quite like Venice and we were happy to add this unique place to our list of places visited during this two-week tour. Enjoy the photos of our day in beautiful Venice.
