On Sunday night, we left Rottweil, and drove back to Munich for a short flight Monday to Venice. Venice is all that, AND a bag o' chips! Beautiful scenery everywhere, famous canals, bridges and architecture, several smaller islands (Murano specializes in glass, Burano in lace) and wonderful restaurants everywhere! What more could you ask for?

We arrived on Monday afternoon in Venice. Our hotel was about half way between the famous Rialto Bridge (shown here behind Filbert)

and the Piazza San Marco, again behind Filbert:

On Tuesday morning, we made our way to the Vaporetto station at Fondamenta Nuove on the north side of Venice for a quick trip to Murano and Burano. Can you find Filbert in the geraniums?

While we were visiting Burano, Filbert crossed paths with the Roaming Gnome! He was apparently also on assignment in Italy:

More to come as we move on to Florence!
