The forbidden word in Venice… sale. High prices are justified as everything depends on gondolas, boats, and handcarts for delivery.
Vaporetto serve as water buses. How romantic???George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s favorite Venice restaurant Ristorante Da Ivo has its own dock. The menu has no prices.
I’ve been fortunate with the weather as Italy has had the hottest summer on record. Midafternoon best stay out of the sun, go slow or stop for a coffee. It feels surreal to be here. I’ve planned so long and now I’m living my dream. ~linda
Dear Linda, I can’t imagine eating at a restaurant that doesn’t list the prices! The water scenes from Venice are iconic. The bronze horses are magnificent. A hard decision but I think they should be returned as cultural heritage to the community that created them. Sincerely Bill
Love your photos! Looks like you’re having great weather and loads of fun!

Perhaps it’s the memory of riding in a gondola that is more cherished than the actual experience. ~linda
