Today, we took the train from Florence to Venice. It was about 2 hours, and a very pleasant journey. We booked our tickets 4-6 weeks ago, which turned out to be very helpful. It allowed us to book a specific time and seats in advance, so all we had to do was show up and wait to see which platform to board from. (sadly, it was not Platform 9-3/4)
Once in Venice, we took the water bus to our hotel. We are staying on the water, right off the San Zaccaria stop, so it was very easy to walk off the water bus, cross one bridge, and go straight into our hotel. :)
The second photo is one I snapped from the water bus. It's an enormous hand holding a tank. I have no idea what it is, but thought it was interesting.
The next two photos are taken from the window of our hotel room. Just stunning! The weather when we arrived was just perfect - around 70 degrees and clear. The last photo is a fruit platter waiting for us in our room by tge hotel. What a lovely welcome to this magical city!
