Subject: The Big Venice Picture Post

St. Mark's Square

Basilica, St. Mark's Square

Various Venice locations

The Grand Canal

Biennalle, a more residential part of the city.

Richard posing.

I think this was in Cannaregio...

I really am happier than I look, honest!

A little boatyard.

Churches

A nice restaurant we ate at, right by the Accademia bridge.

A leaning tower of Venice.

The Rialto

Behind Richard is the single road/rail link from the island to the mainland.

Where we ate on Richard's birthday.

A cool little jazz bar we drank some very good wine in.

La Fenice

Gondolas

Feed and be strong, my minions! Pigeons in St. Marks

The view from our apartment window, straight down onto one of the best chocolate shops on the planet.

---------------------------------------------------------------

One night we were lucky enough to be wandering the streets at about 1am, just as the aqua alta struck. Hardly anyone else was around, so we took loads of pictures around our apartment and St. Marks. The pictures don't quite get across how impressive it is; the walkways in some shots are needed as little bridges to get around, the water is so deep. The water bubbles up from beneath the paving, so it seems to just appear from nowhere. Very cool. Here's all the aqua alta pics.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The last pictures we took, as we caught the waterbus from the Rialto back towards the bus station.

Very nice holiday! :-)

I really like all the red stone buildings, and the pictures at night are super cool.
