After we got through all the hotel-room-switching-thing, we finally ventured out and wandered (because that is what you do here) until we got to San Marco. Went up the campanile (bell tower), but skipped the basilica because the line was waaaay long and we were just fed up with the thought of standing for hours yet again. Although the line was much better organized and logical than any of the ones in Paris.

Looks like a perfect trip to me! Last time i was through Paris we had the line issues as well - I think 1.5 hours to get on the tower...so we did line duty and switched off to the cafe...
ReplyDeletePictures look great. NOTE: Wine stores WILL ship wine in Italy to the U.S. - Since one can't take liquids on the plane anymore ...
