Just back from a week in Venice and the place was amazing. I have only posted pictures from the flight there and the first evening on flickr and will be posting more over the next week or so.
Hopefully my pictures do the place justice. it really is an amazing looking place.
Coming in to land;
We took the Alilaguna boat from the airport to the city to do the grand entrance and it was well worth it as this is where we got off;
Didnt arrive until 6 pm so by the time we had dealt with the hotel and got un packed it was dark outside;
In the picture above our hotel is the low pink building on the right, just past the bridge and our room looked out onto the canal so it didnt matter that the TV only had Italian channels, there was plenty of entertainment from the window;
As always the full set is on flickr here
