Venice

What a treat to wake up just as we arrive in Venice and see Piazza San Marco from the ship. I had to grab the camera and run up on deck. This truly is a fantastic perspective. Usually we are taking pictures from inside the square and you can’t quite feel the magnitude of the place.
The ship docked very close to the vaporetto stop so we headed out early. Last time we were here we didn’t have a chance to visit the Doge’s Palace so that was first on out agenda. It was beyond our expectations and you can only imagine the power Venice had at that time, not to mention the parties.
It’s always good to wander around in Venice and that’s just what we did. The ship stayed in port overnight and of course we had dinner in a great little restaurant called Di Angelos. I had a fried beef dish with a red sauce (sounded awful, but it was the special and delicious). Raf had the squid in black ink pictured below.
When the ship was leaving we reserved a section at the top of the ship where we would get a great view going out. The pool band only played Caribbean music so Raf pulled out the iPod and speakers, plugged them in on the deck and we departed listening to the most beautiful Baroque music.
