Day 13 and 14 - Venice

Venice
 
 
  
Today we arrived in Venice. We caught this really cool water taxi to our apartment.  Venice is amazing!  It is built on all of these canals, so you can't drive there, so everyone gets around on boats or Gondoliers.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
This is St Mark's square.  It is huge and there are pigeons everywhere.  We walked around the little streets and it is a really pretty city, definitely one of our favourites so far.



 
 
 
 
 
We went on a Gondola and it was awesome!  The Gondoliers put there feet up on the buildings to push off if the Gondola gets too close to the walls.

 
 
 

 
 
The most special part of our visit to Venice was meeting up with our Poppy's family.  It was really funny because they couldn't speak English, so we had someone to help us to communicate with them.  It was a very happy and emotional day and we will remember our time together with them forever.   


 
 
We have loved our time in Venice, but after two days we are off to beautiful Tuscany.
 
We will be in touch soon!
 
Love Maddy and Bella xox
