09 Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Tour first stop--Venice Venice

Inexpensive air tickets really cheap at around $ 100 us from London to Venice (this is not the cheapest).

Fly over the enchanting Alps just arrived in Venice.

Weather did not let us, always under the rain stopped, so that we can free shuttle. This is a historical and cultural tours, fertile Eastern Mediterranean brought up one civilization, rich in the middle ages left countless art treasures. Unfortunately, Venice's watermark higher and higher, not knowing that day in Venice, lost in the world.

Churches, museums, University scattered in Venice, don't sit on other modes of transport, with 11 road, otherwise you might miss out on these wonderful buildings.

On that day, I do not know what the reason, many local people take a map and compass in participating in the race, from time to time to stop and look at the maps demarcating their location, like what is looking for.

Venice travel directions also considered clear (in yellow in the illustration on the signs to spot indicates), although a clearer indication of the toilet ... Because each person, see 1.5 toilets in income is also good, Oh. (Mr said 40 years ago in Cambridge gown sale, now in Venice on the toilet, are good industry!)

St Mark's square.

Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St Mark's Cathedral. Mark's Basilica, the patron saint of buried in Venice-San Marco. San Marco is the New Testament • Gospel of mark of the author, he is a winged lion. San Marco's Cathedral was the largest medieval church in Europe, is the Fourth Crusade departure, is Venice architecture art classic, is the pride of Venice. The glory of Venice, Venice, Venice of the rich history and belief, this is done. Unfortunately we arrived it was Sunday, think that the Church does not open, go elsewhere, and then return to the guest only to find that the crowd is queued as long long, and we have no time to wait, and had to climb a few of the bell tower overlooking Venice San Marco (St. Mark's Cathedral, do not receive tickets, San Marco Bell Tower to? 8, price leverage significantly. ）。 This unfortunately remain until the next to go again. (Oh, to go to Venice, I got a good excuse!)
