Day 21 - Venice - Day Trip

Staying at a Pension near Treviso on the mainland, we had to make the day trip to Venice. No amount of suspect infrastructure, spaggetti highway, poor sign posting, eratic local drivers, camio German drug induced 180kph Audi drivers, ... can prepare you for the World Kodak Heritage Site, that is Venice. After everyone fleeces you of ever last dollar that they can, you are still left with the most stunningly beautiful place that anyone can imagine. Every street, every canal, ever building, every gift shop, every genuine leather shoe seller tells a story. Enchanting is the word for the day - we arrived by car, travelled along the Grand Canel by water taxi, walked endlessly through small narrow streets, and sadly were made to leave by car in the twightlight - It is hard to believe that there is a more beautiful place on this planet. But wait - stay tuned folks - Rome and Paris to come!
