Got a good taste of the gondola experience in Venice. The picture below shows a Polish family enjoying their gondola experience:
The gondola was regularly rocking about, and getting this shot was more difficult than it looks. The gondolier at the back was a bit of a star, singing 'Don't worry . . . be happy' most of the time.
During the gondola ride, we passed the back doors of houses and a statue dedicated to Thomas Mann ('Death in Venice' being the only Mann I've ever read), but I wasn't sharp enough to catch the latter.
The above shot is of the main waterway in Venice city centre, and I got this shot from the bridge in the picture below:
Yeah, Venice was far more picturesque than I'd expected, I absolutely loved the place.
At the time, it was pouring it down back in Warsaw, but, in Venice, it was perfectly sunny, about 27 degrees celsius, with a nice light breeze. What more do you want at the back end of April?
