Last night treated ourselves to a gondola ride. Mr. Snootypurse and myself shared a pre-gondola dinner while watching boats pass back and forth through the lagoon. As you can see, Mr. Purse is winding up to deliver a stiff right hook. Too much togetherness, I guess.
We started our ride around 9:00pm which was just about perfect. We had some twilight starting out and things were almost completely dark as we finished up. I enjoyed the ride more than I expected. It’s so quiet and peaceful as you glide along Venice’s back canals. Quite a contrast to how things are during the day. And it is very romantic to share the experience with someone you love.
Gosh - you're already in Venice? This trip is going really fast and I'm not even there! Except with your blog it's like I'm there. I'm enjoying the pictures. WHERE are all the tourists? How awesome- looks like you've got the whole town to yourself!
ReplyDeleteOh... the other tourists are definitely here. Some places it feels like Disneyworld except you don't speak the language. But we're managing to find some quiet nooks and crannies.
ReplyDeleteI had never wanted to visit Italy... until I read and watched the Japanese comic and anime Aria. Then I actually developed a desire to go to Venice, ride in a gondola, and take pictures.
ReplyDeleteAs I probably won't ever go... I'll have to live vicariously though your travels... keep posting pictures!
Aww, you're so cute! I'm so glad that you're having such a lovely trip. Keep me posted as I continue to live vicariously!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can go wrong taking pictures anywhere in Italy. It should definitely be added to your bucket list!
