Venice - First day


The first day in Venice was really foggy - in fact we were delayed for an hour in Frankfurt because the weather was bad, but we eventually took off, the flight only took a little over an hour.
It WAS foggy, couldn't see a thing from the water bus on the way to the hotel - and here was I thinking I'd get some shots!!

Found the hotel from the bus station very easily - just a 2 minute walk. checked in, were shown to our room - very beautiful with balcony - then went out to get these shots, just round the corner from the hotel.

Cheered up a bit when I saw these images on the LCD.




This is the Academia Bridge, wooden, and built in 1932 as a temporary, but there it is - still there!
I was quite thrilled with the misty effect and took quite a few.





















This is taken from the bridge looking down into the sqare. Crossed this bridge many times during our stay!
