Leaving Venice
Venice. What an interesting place. A little shocked at the number of high end retail brands and the volume of people moving around over the last couple of days. I didn’t think the peak tourist season had started yet. From when Venice was established in the lagoon as a sanctuary by refugees from Roman Cities fleeing Visigoths from the north (upon the collapse of the Roman Empire), to the geography of the 118 islands (438 bridges), to the culture of the people…………..it is no wonder that Venice is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And let’s not forget that Venice hosts an annual International Film Festival on the Island of Lido. Great to walk around again today and people gaze. Also nice to take the lift to the top of the tower of St Mark’s Campanile in San Marco Square. Great views. Great pics. Some nice shots of the Basilica with its gothic ornamentation. A quirky Murano glass purchase from a shop on San Marco Square followed by a gelato. Beautiful final meal of pasta in an open air restaurant. Dream.
