Ellen’s Journeys… - Venice

Here we go: Following the first article on Ellen’s journeys, here is a nice report on her trip to Venice… Enjoy! (To have a closer look to the photos, please click!)

 

“Hi Everyone,

Venice is a really nice and beautiful city. Nothing like I have ever seen before! Loved it! It is not as ’romantic’ as most people make it out to be ( then again, I was not there with my Prince Charming! haha! ). I know some of you have special memories of Venice so I thought I would attach a few more pixs! : )

Love the islands outside Venice! Burano is really cool (…)

 

and Torcello is good for a history lesson but it is not ‘pretty’.

Those of you who have been the Cambridge, does the Bridge of Sigh look familiar to you?? : )

 

The one in Cambridge (St John’s College) is a replica of this original Bridge of Sigh.  It is called the Bridge of Sigh because prisoners walk through the bridge before they go to prison. 

We were lucky at Venice cos we stayed really near San Marco Square or Piazza San Marco.

The Palazzo Ducale/Ducale Palace (…) was really nice and the Basilica di San Marco was awesome (…) !!  I can’t believe people PAY money to buy food to FEED the pigeons in the square!!!! (…)

Ellen x”
