    Visiting Venice and learn everything how to make and handle the most symbolic way of transport in Venice. A challenge indeed
    Take your time, stroll around on this "Boulevard" or Zattere and visit the Scuola voga-vela.It is impressive to see how a Gondola (11meters long and 600 kg of weight) is put into the Canale della Giudecca

    Equipment: The local school "Society Canottieri Bucintoro" will give you all necessary equipment and instructors

    As part of the yearly "Redentore Festival" there is the historical "Regatta Storica", or local boat race on the Giudecca Canal, southern Venice and on the Grand Canal - as fieste for the locals and the tourist of course.

    Equipment: This picture is showing the fittness and practicing of the Belgian team called Canneloni, or was is Spaghetti.
    Italy, be warned, next to tennis in Wimbledon we will go for the championship in your historical city.

     Lovely photos of Venice. Did you bump into Romeo and Juliet when you were in Venice ;))

     Luc I love Venice, it was a pity we were there for only two nights, and one day at Burano Island. Next time we will stay longer. Your Venice page is great.

     The self service restaurant called Chat Qui Rit is worth a visit to see just how rude the cashier and manager can be. They are unbelieveable.

     I'm going back to Venice in March and I can't wait! But I think I'll skip your idea of going up in a balloon, and I'm afraid, the 1000 $ glass figurines will have to stay in the shop.
