What a day today...I'm exhausted...got a short run in, some geocaching, our gondola ride, visit to the Venice Museum and palace and prison, lasagna dinner (for me) and more Italian beer and mint gelatto. Can it get any better than this. Our official tour starts tomorrow and I'm already exhausted.
Exploring a gondola for today's ride
Heading down the canal
Our gondola rider
Heading out
The basilica
The Doge Palace
Palace Courtyard
The ceiling of the stairwell
Large doors - I'm there for perspective.
And these double doors in case more height is needed.
Ceilings and more ceilings
More art on the ceilings than anywhere
Fireplace
Quite the rooms
So much art everywhere
And Palace time ...
The Palace Courtyard
Taken from the Bridge of Sighs that connects the Palace and the Old Prison.
Who is this tourist girl that keeps cropping up?
Another cruise ship with its tug boats
And a good day ending with finding a geocache with Bruce's help
Tomorrow we meet up with our group and start our tour. We have to go back to the airport. Hopefully we will be able to find them.
