The Grand Canal: A Surreal Experience | The incomparable Grand Canal |
Travelling down the Grand Canal (on a Vaparetto) is a surreal experience. It's absolutely incredible looking at all the old palaces.
Venice is a wonderful city. It's small and there are absolutely NO CARS. Coming from traffic-impacted Los Angeles, that is like going to Heaven. |
|  | Getting lost Renowned travel writer Rick Steves mentioned to "get lost" in the winding city streets since it's practically an island and you can't get lost. Well, I did. You'd think it would be easy to find the Grand Canal to get your bearings, but I managed to get lost. Still, it's VENICE... so who cares? |

Hotel $$ looks ok but that club sandwich? You probably took a club sandwich with chicken, right? Because I think they served the chicken who laid the golden eggs! that is why it was so expensive `-) | CALSF Tue Jan 25, 2005 04:25 UTC
Fifty bucks for a club sandwich-per person-at Harry's Bar, the cheapest item on the menu?! Very nice photos and tips, Phil! | JetlagCity Mon Jan 24, 2005 20:37 UTC
The no cars thing was huge for me too, coming from the U.S. I mean, what a concept?! Venice is fabulous. |
