Arriving in Venice…

After a two hour journey on the high speed train from Florence we were arriving in Venice.
Venice
Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
Our first real experience with Venice is a trip by Vaporetto (water bus) from the main train station along the grand canal, under the famous Rialto Bridge to our stop (S. Angelo) near our accomodation in Venice.
