Lido and Venice

1 Jul

Today we endured throngs of tourists after making our way over the lagoon to Venice. I must admit it’s a beautiful and unique place but after only about 30 minutes I had had my fill of too much of everything. (Perhaps I shouldn’t speak for both of us though) We have gotten spoiled by touring smaller less visited places where there aren’t lineups and crowds. Anyway we did manage to buy a few gifts and see a few sights.

For the afternoon we went to the beach on the other side of the Lido where we swam in the warm Adriatic ocean. Sandy beach and space, what could be better.

Gondolas picking up passengers

More f***ing gondolas! (apologies, it’s a Monty Python thing, can’t help it)
