Impressioni di Venezia

Here's a glimpse into my Venice photo album.

We had great weather

crossed dozens of bridges over canals
stayed in a charming retro hotel right round the corner from St. Marc's Square
happy that most of the tourist crowds left for their trains/cars/coaches in the evening.
Gondolieri still wear their traditional striped sweaters and straw hats with red ribbons

and elderly ladies and gentlemen are still much more elegantly dressed than most of their Austrian counterparts.

As always, the sunset was picture-perfect
and the branches leading away from the Canale Grande created that special "fisheye" illusion
All in all: a perfect mini-break
