The famous Venice | The famous gondols and channels |
A weekend in the northeast of Italy...? Well, of course I had to stop by at the famous city Venice.
To get rid of expensive hotel-nights I decided to stay for just a bit more than five hours, but still I had time to see a lot!
My impression of Venice is divided in two, since the canales and bridges was fantastic, including also the Piazza Marco and the surroundings.
But as soon as I got away from the canales I got more negative. The houses were old, in the way they look like no one has been living there for a long long time, and it was quite depressing to see this. I though Venice was much nicer.
Not talking about the typical tourist-traps, including the high prices of everything, from food and drinks to boattrips.
In all together, I'm very pleased I went there, but I won't cry for the rest of my life if I never get back to Venice. |

"Venice is full of gondols, so full that you might think that the competition for customers would cut the prices down" That's hilarious, Mr. Ibsen! :D Still researching Venice!!!! | Marpessa Mon Nov 14, 2005 04:27 UTC
Beautiful photos. Just doing my Venice page now. I know I got lost here too, but I'm thinking you may need a personal GPS (navigation system) ;) it seems to be a habit with you :) (You know I like to tease) |
