Thank you so much everyone for your comments. We do appreciate them and love keeping in contact! :-)
Another train ride, another city .. not this time! I’m not sure that anything prepares you for the beauty and uniqueness of Venice. 
Our stay in Venice was short, so we booked no tours and instead walked around the city, over bridges and over bridges, caught ferries and just soaked in the city that is Venice. 
In the main square there were heaps of pigeons and you can't keep us away from playing with pigeons..
In the evening, we decided to take a long trip on one of the ferries, and we got our wish! We weren't sure if we were going to end up in another country, as we headed out into what seemed like the open sea. Eventually, we did arrive back at the main square of Venice, having seen a lot more of Venise than we expected.
Venice is famous for the Murano glass that is made into a huge variety of glass products, 
and also for the masks that can be found in every second shop...
Here a a few other pics of that magical city Venice ..
Next we are off to Austria for some skiing and hopefully some snow falling.....

Hi Shoeys,
I really enjoyed these last two post. Venice looks amazing. I carn't imagine streets of water, very romantic. Rome looks excellent as well. You guys must think I need a life always on here talking to you lot. The truth is it's amazing how much time I have when Basketball is on holidays. I am really enjoying the break. I am back at work now though but that hasn't been to bad. Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.
