Around Venice, Italy

Posted on April 6, 2018September 2, 2018 by Sandra

Venice, Italy really is one of those cities you could get lost in. You want to get lost in it! I actually read a great tourist tip: if you pass a shop where you want to see inside you better do it NOW. Because the chances of finding that same shop again are pretty slim!

James and the St Mark’s Campanile – the bell tower of St Mark’s Basilica. This is right in the heart of Venice at the Piazza San Marco:

One of many glass shops in Venice – and this one had musical instruments made of glass!! A glass guitar and a glass saxophone:

While Chris loved looking at the glass musical instruments, I loved looking at the glass jewelry! These glass rings are so pretty:

We stopped in the farmacia and the pharmacists were so excited to meet James! (And side note: if you are in Europe and need a prescription refill don’t be afraid of the pharmacies like we were originally. They are SO helpful and not only were our prescriptions sold as over the counter but they were 1/10 of the price we pay in the US!!)

The famous Rialto bridge from our vaporetto (the open deck space in the back makes a great little excursion along the Grand Canal – be sure to read our guide to riding the water taxis in Venice):

I was looking for some new sunglasses while in Europe and I finally found exactly what I was looking for at Trussardi! James got some attention from the team at Trussardi and he loved it:

The winter days have the most beautiful sunsets:

I decided to end this blog post on an INTERESTING photo. We took the big car ferry back to Lido and since it is a large ferry and not just a vaporetto or motoscafo it had a cafe and bathrooms. We had been wandering Venice for a while so I was thankful to find a bathroom. To my surprise, this was the toilet in the ferry!!!
