Tourist traps we conquered:
- Basilica di San Marco
- Campanile: Cal's campanile is based on the one in Venice.
- Piazza San Marco
Activities:
- Gondola ride
- Murano glass blowing demonstration, they had these cool cups
that tilt back when you push the cup over
On our way to Italy, we saw all these Ferraris.
Venice is made up of narrows streets, canals, and foot bridges;
there are no
cars in Venice. Most of the buildings had peeling paint and water
damage.
Venice starting flooding which happens pretty often each year and
we had to wade in water that went up to our knees without knowing
that the water is untreated sewage. Ew! It was kinda scary trying
to reach one of the water taxis with all the thunder and lightning.
The Venetian Masks that are worn for Carnival were gorgeous but
expensive.
