Venice

This is our first full day in Venice and this will be a very short post as Internet access like everything else in Venice is very expensive.

We came by train from Munich yesterday through storybook scenery in Bavaria and Austria into the Italian Tyrol.

Today we went to see the Doges Palace at the Piazza San Marco (with the thousands of other tourists). We are limiting ourselves to one museum/ gallery a day as we are finding that there is a limit to how much one can effectively take in. Venice has a fading grandeur that is really beautiful, but it is impossible to see anything without many other people sharing the experience.

We have another full day here tomorrow and then off to Naples.

Hi Mum and Dad! Great to hear that the train trip was as beautiful as you expected. Venice sounds wonderful (although Joerg tells me that Frankfurt has more bridges over water!). Looking forward to more updates. Have a great time in Naples!
