Venice - the city of Love

We made it to Venice and found a perfect camping spot at Fusina which was on the coast overlooking the water surrounding this famous city.


Light rain delayed our ferry trip but as it cleared we headed off to enjoy the ambience of this old city which was built on the water.

We could see the beautiful church as we pulled into the wharf

We had a lovely day strolling the streets and caught the water bus which took us from one side of Venice to the other and return. It was good and we were surrounded by many others trying to do the same thing.

Venice does have a historical centre but we enjoyed crossing the wooden bridges and passing through the famous fruit and fish markets before catching the water bus for the return trip. There were lots of old stones but it was lovely and worth seeing.  We enjoyed a beer and some nuts at a little table overlooking the water and enjoyed watching the daily life of those who live in this city. Their river is their road.

Ernie the dog also enjoyed his visit to Venice and accompanied us both ways.
