Venice, Day 59 & 60

After Bologna I went to Venice. Venice is a beautiful city and I highly encourage people to take a few days there to wander around.

My first night in Venice,


 
 The Grand Canal and Venice from the water,



 


 



 
 

 
 
 


Doors that open to nothing,



Wandering Venice,










 St Marks Square,

 

Sunset at and around St Marks Square,



 
 
 
Wandering Venice on the 2nd evening,



It got really misty after sunset, it was quite nice to walk all those small side streets in this,





 





 A small park, I didnt think they had parks in the heart of Venice,
