We have had a great three days in Venice. It is easy to get around and our hotel was in a fantastic location with its own private dock on the Grand Canal. St Marks Square and the Rialto Bridge are incredibly awe inspiring places to visit. We did a gondola tour which was fun.
We spent a lot of time shopping as the quality was much better than in Croatia.
We found a couple of great local restaurants (not tourist places) which served traditional Italian food and excellent wine by the glass. We had a great time at these places.
Probably the highlight of our trip was an afternoon kayak tour with Rene from Venice Kayaks. We had a private tour and we set off from Certosa Island and explored the canals, some quieter residential ones plus headed into the Grand Canal as well. It was great fun avoiding the gondolas and other boats on the canals and getting a closer appreciation of how people live on the canal. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
We are on our way home today, via Dubai and Brisbane
