Venice Impressions

Beauty of Venice is in its canals, bridges, old and shabby buildings, its remarkable history, art and music... Life goes on right in front of you on the water and this seems so natural you can't imagine it could have been done in any different way. Venice has public transport boats called 'vaporetto', boat taxis and ambulances, boat grocery shops, boat dumpsters and even boat catafalques... And of course - the thing I should have mentioned first - the magnificent black gondolas which are made of 8 types of wood and are covered with 10 layers of paint before they are ready to roam the canals... Still there is so much more to that! Gorgeous things are everywhere - in every shop window, in every house attire and even in every grocery shop and snack bar - just have a look at these snaps:











I have so many more photos of what I saw and couldn't take my eyes off.. - I'm sure this is far not my last post about Venice!
