We have arranged a couple of tours of the canal city, one where we will get to visit the palace and take a boat ride out to the island where Murano Glass is made! The other tour is a walk through the city in the evening that ends with a gondola ride. The latter tour was a great find, we wanted to make sure the kids could have the iconic ride, but when we looked at prices, for a 30 minute ride for the 6 of them would have cost us almost as much as a three hour tour of the city where all 10 of us can have a ride! We opted for the three hour tour (doing your homework really makes a difference!)
We also plan to spend the day on the Lido, another day of fun in the sun! This beach experience will be different from our day in Capri, but we'll have gotten to play at the beach in two different parts of the country! We will have to take a waterbus out to the island, and I'm not sure how long that will take, but it's an adventure!
Once again we'll be staying off the beaten path somewhat. We've rented an apartment just three blocks from St. Mark's Square, and with Venice being full of water it is perfect for us to walk just about everywhere we want to go!
Venice is one of the last stops on our trip, and we'll all be sad to reach this spot (although we won't be sad to get to see it!)
