Venezia May 2006

I visited Venice with my brother and his family while he was there for work. We had a marvelous time touring the canals and shopping for leather and anything else appealing. We also visited the islands Murano, Burano and Lido via public water bus. The food was a little disappointing because I was hoping for pastas and tortas but instead Venice specializes in fish, fish and fish. Breakfast, however, was great. Croissants and cappucino every morning with a view of the Grand Canal from the hotel deck.
