Venice, Italy






Our last stop in Italy was in Venice. We were there for an afternoon and then had to catch a flight early the next morning to France. Again like in Florence, we didn't have a hotel reserved so we went to the tourist information booth at the train station to ask for recommendations. They suggested Hotel Ca' Nigra Lagoon Resort so we checked it out and decided to stay. It overlooked the Canal Grande where they offered the gondola rides (the Italian men that float you down river in their boats), but for 70 Euros we thought it wasn't worth the cost of the 20 minute ride. Instead we went out to dinner and had gelato for dessert. Check out Blake's jacket and scarf. Those are his new European purchases.
