I am continuing to post blogs from my travels over the years just for a change…will do this till the weekend hope you enjoy the moments from days gone by….
Monday 25h June 2012……my last big city for a few days….Venice!!!
The camp site provides a ticket for 23 Euros that allows you to get two buses and then a ferry into the Centre of Venice and return plus all the small ferries all day…an awesome deal…so I left at 9am with bag packed
here is my neighbor on the bus
and it was easy to get into the center and my first glimpse…
Even though it was a Monday the place was packed with tourists and line ups everywhere and I refuse to pay to go into any church so I skipped that and just walked around and soaked up the flavor and the vitality that is Florence!!!
Where did you have lunch today??
After a few hours of enjoying wondering around I hit the wall ..it was hot, too many tourists and I decided it was time to hit the water so I boarded a small ferry on the Grand Canal and did the complete loop!!!
I was still requiring some quiet time and did some research and with a couple of ferry changes I arrived and the out of this world small Isla of Burano!!!!
Never quite seen anything like in except maybe for the sights in Guanajuato in Mexico!!
Enjoy the peace, the tranquility and the colors!!!!!
The Island is famous for its lace!!!!
All this time in Italy with the warnings of beware of pickpockets well it happened to me on this tiny lovely Island…..I felt one of the zippers on my back pack opened and quickly turned around and found these two trying to rip me off…a quick shout and a wave of the hand and they were gone…
Must have been all of 7 years of age!!!!!!
What a great way to end a perfect day!!!!
Janet and Malc did their own thing today and Janet got her lifetime wish to go on a Gondola and Malc has been practicing his “O sol o Mio” all week…they said it was wonderful and 80 Euros for 30 minutes but well worth it!!
A bit of a hard time getting back to the camp site but made it now we are all cleaned and ready for the big scrabble game stay tuned….
Yashi Kochi!!!
