Venice

Dave again...

Venice. The jumping off point for Columbus and George Clooney.  It is all at once beautiful and maddening. Crowded but somehow charming.

We took a water taxi from the mainland near the airport, and it took us almost directly to our hotel. We have been wondering around fighting the temptation to buy tourist stuff. But found a nice little café on a side street where it is quiet and we can sip wine and relax. it's nice not to have a tight schedule, have to follow turn by turn directions, and pedal up lots of hills.

More later...
