Three Days in Venice

We headed to Venice on the “fast train” which turned out to be not so fast. But arrive in Venice we did.

No matter how many times you visit this beautiful city there is always something else to see. Another alleyway that you need to go down and then to realize that it stops at the canal, with nowhere else to go but back the way you came. I believe that part of the magic of this city is actually being able to make your way from place to place and not make too many wrong turns. I don’t like regular mazes, but the city of Venice is a maze I will gladly get lost in.

We wandered the city of the locals by day, and by night visited the tourist areas now devoid of all of the day trippers. We strolled around Burano again, ferried to Murano to realize all had closed for the day and then on to the Grand Canal. We visited the local grocery store we have come to know well and our favorite coffee bar.

We left after only three days, hoping we will return yet again only next time for a longer visit.
