Rick's Roadshow resumes again, with a few installments from Venice, Italy. As you might expect, I am not planning to spend much time in my hotel room writing these posts-I'd rather be out exploring Venice. When I was on the cruise portion of this trip, I had plenty of time in the evenings to recap the day, but here on land I'm spending most of my time enjoying the city, drinking wine and eating delicious food. We disembarked the ship and took a water taxi to the main island of Venice. If you ever go to Venice, spend the money on the private water taxi, its much better than waiting for the big public boat which goes slower and has lots of stops. Our hotel, the Metropole has its own private dock on a canal, so our water taxi pulled right up to the hotel and they took care of all of our luggage. Much better than dragging it up and down all the those bridges!

Sorry to be light with the commentary. I'm off for a new adventure in Venice. Tomorrow I'll post more from Rick's Roadshow: Venice, Italy!

I ADORE Venice! Have fun!! :)
That last photo is magnificent! I will forever rue the fact that we missed Venice, because my daughter had already been there and didn't want to go back. I look forward to more photos, and I certainly understand about not wanting to spend time in the hotel writing!
gosh it has been almost exactly a year since we were there. sigh...
