Gliding along the canals of Venice in a gondola ..
… sipping champagne, all the while being serenaded by a duo of musicians 🙂
Enjoy the ride with us as we glide through the canals, narrow and wide, between beautiful old buildings and under bridges
I must add here, that Don and Jeanne were on their honeymoon !!!! He’s a very young and spritely 80 and she’s 60+ !!!!!! A beautiful love story .. they ‘found’ themselves after both spouses had passed away. They were the lucky ones, naturally, to have the singer and accordion player in their gondola 🙂
Don and Jeanne (with the hats) and Ron and Camilla … .. What a stunning voice the singer had !
Gondola’s prow with its characteristic ferri ..
Six people to a gondola .. we were with Bob and Connie, and Susan and her son, Ben … (Ben is in most of my pics !!! )
Charlie and Paula’s daughter, Patty ..
Charlie, Paula and daughter Patty .. and Mick, Gina and their son Robert (if I recall his name correctly)
… A bonus boat ride!!!! …. from a gondola to a launch!! It took us along the Grand Canal and across the waters to our hotel on Lido di Venezia !! (next post)

That is definitively something that needs to be on everybody’s international travel bucket list
Yes I agree!! It was a surreal experience. And all the stories we heard of smelly water were wrong. A little dirty in places but that’s understandable with trees versus winds, but no plastics and definitely no smell
