I have been trying to explain to Dan that Venice isn't really like other Italian historical cities. Other than the Doge's Palace and Basilica San Marco – there's not a lot 'inside' to see. The thing to see in Venice is Venice itself. You wander round and round and happen upon little piazzas and lovely views of tiny balconies dripping with flowers and 14th century columns! Of course, almost every corner has a canal and the 1st time we wandered out of the hotel we happened upon such a unique little set of bridges, canals and colonnaded walkways, Dan just turned and said “it's not real” and he's right. It doesn't feel real! In fact his summary (from the boat journey from the airport) was 'old things and lots of water'. Technically correct, but I don't think he'll ever get a job with the Venetian tourist board! 10 Jul 2009
