The initial reason to visit Italy was Venice and we go there on the last leg of our trip. After arriving by train and almost missing our stop and face the probability of getting fined for staying on the train for too long, we got off at Mestre and took the bus to the lagoon city of Venice.
To be honest, Venice, with all its unique canals and buildings, it was the least favourite stop for me. I guess the reason boils down to the local's attitude towards tourists. In retrospect, I suppose there are more tourists and locals at the old historical city in any one given time, and they must be tired of the same old questions from the unending wave of tourists.
Highlights were taking the water buses to ride the canals and visit neighboring islands that make up the Venice region, taking pictures in San Marco square, and drinking cappuccino and other expensive desserts at Cafe Florian.
Canals were everywhere. It seems every bridge you cross there was a picture worthy view.
Not only were people getting in the way of Deb's shots, but water buses too.
Taking night shots off the Rialto bridge.
Alas, during the last night in Venice and in Italy, my Canon point and shoot decided to call it quits. Although finicky during the whole trip, it would not turn on until I actively started to search for a new camera at home. Maybe I should threaten it more.
