Friday was spent in Venice. (check out the beautiful slide show on the Venice link) It is the favorite city on the trip so far. Simply amazing, was the verdict.
Venice is world-famous for it's canals. It is build on a archipeligo of a 117 islands formed by 177 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built is connected by 409 bridges! Venice is Europes largest car free area, unique in Europe in remaining a sizable functioning city in the 21st century entirely without motorcars or trucks.
There are so many interesting facts about this amazing city. I don't think one day is probably enough to spend here. That is one good thing, I will now know which cities will require more time when I go!! For now though, it's good-bye to Italy, tomorrow (Saturday) they travel on.
