Europe Day 19 - Venice


This morning we head in to Venice, a city consisting of a dizzying array of islands, interconnected by countless bridges, and serviced by a beautiful network of canals – there really is no other city like it on earth! Mimi ( trip leader) took us on a walking tour winding through alleyways and across piazzas, finishing in St Mark’s Square with its magnificent basilica.
 
We then pay a visit to a local lace school to see how these delicate masterpieces are created by the talented Venetians.

Then a gondola ride through waterways that link this great city, during which you can view the famous Rialto Bridge from the waters of the Grand Canal.


The rest of the day was mine to spend how I wished.

Saw the band playing at the oldest coffee shop in Venice the 'florian' (Ed- so glad you made it there!!!  Such a famous place)

Lunch was the best carbonara!! (Ed; NO CREAM!  Much yummier!)

Back to camp site to party with my cousin and Peter.

Luv Chi
