Karwn, your pictures are to die for! Don’t know if I mentioned it earlier, but we were last in Venice in 2014 , so this is a trip down memory lane, thanks!

Thank you to tripplanner001, BlueRidgeBoots, and PJTravels for still following along on this lengthy TR. Venice is, indeed, very special. It's at the top of my list!

Karen, I’m so enjoying your descriptions and pictures, the pleasure’s all mine. We stayed at an apartment close to Piazza San Marco, but in 2014 it was relatively calm and not really crowded. One of my husband’s dearest friends is from Venice and he showed us around and took us to parts of the city we would never have seen. A truly unique experience.
Yes, Venice is special, though I don’t see us going back. Which is why your TR means so much to me, thanks again! |
I’m very much enjoying your latest instalments too, Karen, all your photos are great but that final evening shot is gorgeous,
|
Your photos and descriptions of Venice are breathtaking.
My absolute favorite photo is “iconic view of Venice #1”….don’t know exactly why, but it speaks to me. Fodorites are such good storytellers and you are at the top of the crop. |
Thank you geetika, Adelaidean and TPAYT! I love the evening photo, too. My husband took that one. TPAYT, I really like the "iconic view of Venice" #1, too, because the gondolier is adjusting his hat, and you have the bridge, the canal, and the pastel colored buildings. The other thing I like about the canals are all the reflections in the water.
I will have to take a pause here. We are heading to the Cape with our daughters and their families. But I promise I will continue when we get back. |
One of our very favorite things to do too is sit on the deck of one of the Zattere restaurants relaxing and watching all the boats go by on the Giudecca Canal - beautiful.
Love your photos! |
WOW, your pictures bring back memories. One early morning I went up the Companile and I was the only person there.
|
Fantastic report, sad you skipped Rome since that is our next trip. Thanks for the effort.
|
Karen, we twice have stayed just up the road from you guys there in Dorsodouro. The Locanda Montin restaurant rents rooms, as does their immediate neighbor.
Have fun at the Cape! I am done. the gondola |
Still following along silently. Enjoying the details and photos.
|
Those horses are charging right at me!
And that black toga, very chic and expensive. The Venetians do wonderful things with artichokes. But that could also be said of the Romans. And the Italians. |
I’ve been following along and enjoying your TR immensely Karen. I was in Venice SO long ago as a student. At the time, while I enjoyed Venice, I can’t say it was my favourite destination, but your photos and insights have given me reasons to perhaps try to return sometime. It seems like a special city! I too have appreciated your fair and honest impressions in your TR of all the places you visited, and valuable information!
|
Karen, I am so enjoying your trip report. Your photos of Venice are stunning! I loved Venice. When we visited it poured rain for one day and was still so magical and beautiful.
