Famous Venetian masks
Fruit and Vege Market

Rialto Bridge
St Marks Bascilla
Josh walking through the bridge of Sigh's when we toured the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace). It is called the bridge of sighs as it joins the place - courts and the prison so when people walked across it is was often the last glimpse of venice they would get - hence the sigh!
All the Gondolas not being used due to the rain.
Us on the Gondola before we head out.
St Marks Square from the clock tower.
Piazza San Marco - St Marks Square
The only surviving horses 4 abreast - from outside St Marks Basilica now inside in the museum they where cast around AD 200.
At the top of St Marks Bascilla
Lots of subsiding in Venice - check out the tower.
St Marks Square during the day!
Going under the bridge of Sigh's in the Gondola - they where doing some reconstruction around it - hence the blue sky coloured stuff!
On Sunday night high tide was about 6pm and Venice flooded - apparently it happens! All the water comes over on the land it even goes into the shops - we took photos in St Marks Square.
I don't think you'll get a coffee now Josh!
Our Gondola ride in Venice!
We had to put the umbrella up on the Gondola to stop getting wet!
Check out the awesome raincoats we brought to keep us dry!
This weekend we took a 6am flight care of Ryan Air to Venice. When we arrived at the central station we caught a water taxi to the B&B where we where staying - which was close to the markets - so crazy - water everywhere! We dropped our bags off then went for a wander around the streets and made our way to Piazza San Marco and took a look around St Marks Basilica - really beautiful. We had a nap in the avo before eating at a lovely venician restaurant and had some great fish. When we woke up on Sunday morning it was pouring - just like NZ! We waited in bed until mid-day - quite nice really then out for a walk and ended up buying styley raincoats! We brought an unlimited ticket on the water taxi and took a ride up and down the grand canal, we went around the Piazza Ducale and then had the most beautiful but expensive hot chocolate I have ever had in the square. We went out in the evening to go for dinner and it had stopped raining but due to the high tide the place had flooded - check the photos so strange! We did find a nice place for dinner and had some more fantastic fish! On Monday the rain had reduced to a light drizzle so we continued our sightseeing and rode the Gondola with an umbrella!
