Venice

We had one day at sea before returning to Venice. We docked early, so we got to spend the whole day exploring Venice. We took a water taxi downt to Piazza San Marco, where we went into the basilica and saw the amazing Byzantine mosaics. Then we went into the Doge's Palace and across the bridge of sighs. We walked around a bit, found a lovely restaurant for some delicious pizza. Walked some more and ate yummy gelato. Crossed the Rialto Bridge, bought some souvenirs, went to the Friari church to see Donatello's John the Baptist, and walked back to catch our ride to the airport. It was an exhausting day, made even longer by a delayed flight. Poor Colin!
