After a week of cruising through the Croatian Islands we are now in Venice. Croatia was beautiful, far too much to see in a weeks whistle-stop tour, so hopefully we'll be back sometime in the future to spend more time there.

Venice is a beautiful city, somewhat overrun by tourists, to quote thingstodo-venice.com"La Serenissima, Queen of the Adriatic, captivating city of canals and palaces – or merely a floating rip-off merchant bursting with tourists…If you get caught up in the never-ending flow of visitors tramping the narrow main thoroughfares it can be the epitome of hell…." but the small canals and back streets hide many beautiful squares and the history of this ancient city make it a place that we have always wanted to visit.

We are meant to get a half day to look around after our guests leave on tuesday so I imagine we will be taking a gondola ride, and maybe having a few Bellini's at Harry's bar, 

I'll let you know how it goes later in the week.
