Venice, Italy June 21, 2013

3 trains and 7.5 hours brought us to Venice.  Venice definitely has the WOW factor.  It was everything we imagined although much larger than we thought.  We got off the train and walked about 15 minutes alongs the canals until we arrived at our hotel - Ca Fontanea - in a small square down a quiet lane.  We unloaded our packs and went looking to eat.  We had spaghetti, pizza, tiramisu, gelato and espressos. Check. Check. Check. Check. Check.  A walk around the canals and shopping and back to our hotel.  We are leaving on our cruise tomorrow morning, but we will be back after the cruise and will be staying for 3 nights.  Pictures when we come back.
