Venice Travel Photos

I day dreamed about visiting Venice and, so, had high expectations about what it would be like.  And, it was amazing...definitely a dream come true.  We did the usual touristy things, a gondola ride and tours of St. Marks Basilica and the Doge's Palace.  The tour group, Walks of Italy, is who we used and have had wonderful tours every time with them.  Their guides are very educated with lots of knowledge in history and the arts.

We meandered for hours along narrow streets and passageways sometimes running into a dead end at the canals.  Our hotel, the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, was across the Giudecca Canal in Giudecca so we had fabulous views looking toward Venice.  We also had incredible dinners on this side of the canal with an easy walk to access.  Water shuttles were provided by the hotel in order to get to the mainland, Venice.



I'm going to start including fewer pictures on the blog...highlight just a few special ones.  But, I'll give you a link to the full up file with all the trip photos so you can browse at your leisure.  You can find Venice, http://aimeecunninghamphotography.zenfolio.com/venice
