My Heart Was Made To Travel

July 6th

Today was the history/culture adventure of Venice. 

Our morning started out with a Gondola ride thru the canals. It was a neat experience. Something checked off the bucket list. ✔️ Our driver said he didn't sing but he did whistle some and it was very intriguing to watch him maneuver along the route. 

Next stop the Campanile di San Marco. We went up into the bell tower and wow the view of Venice was amazing! Really puts into perspective the size of this place. 

Then it was onto the tour of the Palazzo Ducale (Doges Palace). The paintings in this building were very detailed and covered most ceilings and walls. On the tour we crossed the Bridge of Sighs. This was the entry to the attached prison. 

The rest of the day was spent wandering/getting lost in the little streets of Venice. We did manage to find the store named Dani after only a few wrong turns. 🛍

Off to Florence we go....
