Venice

It all started with a question between me and my husband: where would you like to go for our anniversary this year?  Italy kept on popping up on his mind since he saw the pope last time and he doesn’t mind going back.

So it begins my research. Since my husband has been to Rome before, so getting around is not a problem.
We basically followed Rick Steve’s best of Venice, Florence and Rome tour, but traveled on our own and oh yes, we added Pisa and cinque terre on top of that.
So here it goes…

We arrive in Venice around sunset.
In the air



We stayed at Ca' Bragadin in Venice
http://www.cabragadin.com

It's located close to Rialto Bridge. Walking through canals, bridges, and alleyways to get there was an eye opening experience.




Our first Venetian dinner



 Hotel looks like this inside


After check in hotel settle down and have dinner, we walked to Rialto Bridge to see the view of grand canal

 Grand Canal in the morning

Explore around the area


Then we walked to Piazza San Marco
Venice marathon was going on!!!




Stopped by Bridge of Sighs


After marathon is over, we decided to go up to the top of Campanile di San Marco



Then we walk around the square, where pigeons is everywhere


Beautiful view of gondola by the square

Afterwards we did more exploring and eating of course!







The next day, we visited Peggy Guggenheim Collection by crossing Ponte dell'Accademia





Then we did a walking tour (can't tired of those canals :))
and gondola ride (must do in Venice)



 That night we had the best ravioli.

Walked to San Marco square in the rain on our last day.

Great pasta shop must try if you are there.
