VENICE!!

The Doge's palace
Day 2 and we were up early to use our unlimited vaporetto tickets into Venice, this time for our tour of the Doge's Palace where we heard the tale of Casanova's escape in great detail!




Having visited the prisoners cells and then walked along the Bridge of Sighs



we were left to explore the lavish rooms of the Palace. Tintoretto continued to impress us, this being the longest oil on canvas masterpiece in the world



All this culture left us a little peckish so we did what one has to do when in Venice...we found ourselves a lovely little pizza place and had lunch.



It was no wonder my dress was feeling tight!



Venice.... loved it.
