Pictures of Venice
Here are my pictures of Venice, Italy from our May 2001 trip. This is page one of two.
Pictures of gondolas in Venice, Italy are something of a cliché, but
what the heck. It really is amazing how you can step into Venice, see a scene
like this, and you know you're not in Kansas anymore! We didn't take a gondola,
but it's impossible not to take a boat of some form while in Venice. Well, OK,
you could do it but it's a lot of work!
Here's the Rialto bridge by day. It's one of just a couple of large bridges
that cross the Grand Canal. I think I took this on the vaporetto (it's a boat,
it's a bus, it's the best value in Venice).
And here it is again at night. I suspect you can find a ton of photos of the
Rialto bridge out there, certainly it's a favorite subject of painters.

Rick Steves' ItalyThis is the guide book we used. We found it to be extremely useful, focusing on what we really needed to know without wasting a lot of time on fluff. I find it extremely hard to do any kind of planning with the big "brick" travel guides and really appreciate not having to carry them around with me as well! This is the rare guidebook that's both useful and readable. |
