    Getting TO/AROUND: Use of the waterbuses is extremely easy. When you arrive at Marco Polo Airport buy a Venice Pass. You can purchase them for a varying number of days and thus eliminate the trouble of paying each time you travel. You don't have to show them each time you board a boat but you had better have one. They are also good for bus transportation on other islands and for admission to some of the museums. They are also good for public restrooms which can be a plus. They can also be purchased in advance online at the website listed below. I did not choose to purchase in advance so I can't vouch for that aspect.

    Having the Venice Pass allowed us to jump on and off the boats whenever we wanted and gave us the convienence of returning to our Bed & Breakfast without worrying about paying for another ride.

     I'd love to be seated at an outdoor cafe in Venice right at this moment! St. Mark's Square looks like a place I would enjoy visiting...
