    Getting TO/AROUND: Sadly, it was time to leave Venice. That was bad enough. What really hurt was the early flight we had booked to Palermo. There didn't seem to be any economically efficient way to get there on time (pre-VT...1st time Venice visit). We decided to share a very expensive water taxi ride with our traveling companions. The silver lining came in the form of the fabulous Venetian sunrise you see here. Not being a morning person, I'd seen more "sunsets" than rises. Might have to change my ways...or not.

     Beautiful page, one of the best Venice pages on VT. We have enjoyed rereading it. Great story about Saverio Pastor. Does kitty live on Campo San Cassano?    		scottishvisitor Thu Jan 31, 2008 22:19 UTC
     Would love to get lost in Venice & explore the back streets = seeing the light must have been a great delight even if it may have been by default!
