Spring Break, Italy Edition.....day 8 Venice

 Venice is a beautiful place.   
 Zackary is great at adding filters to his pics they look like postcards.
 The grand canal is big and busy, there is no reason to spend loads of money on a gondola unless you just want pictures and memories of it.  It is just as easy to use the public transportation boats and travel the waterways.
 There are no shortages of gondolas and people spending loads of cash to ride them.
 It is a whole different world watching the locals travel on water and park their boats at the local docks.
 There is just a maze of waterways and narrow roads.  The Venice card is well worth the money you get public transportation, wifi, and bathroom visits.  You can also add entry to the museums and churches but we chose not to. 

 This pic that Zack took looks like a painting.
 We went to go see the area that has the Venetian glass makers and watched them hand blow some glass.  Unfortunately you can not take pictures.  The hand blown glass is amazing, super detailed and works of art. 
 There was one place we went into and they had hand blown chandeliers that where 2 stories tall hanging from the ceiling, they had a life size all colored glass trike that looked like you could start it up and drive away.
 As beautiful as this place is, to me it is a place that you go see once and then you are done.
