Venice, as you probably know, is a very unique island. Here streets are replaced by canals and cars are replaced by boats. Sounds pretty cool in theory but in real life I think its a pain in the, well, I don't think I really need to finish that thought. Don't get me wrong it was very interesting to see how the city functioned without roads, but thats about it... interesting. Sadly, I think my favorite part about Venice was walking into St. Marks plaza or up on a bridge over a large canal and realizing, oh hey this was were they filmed that one scene from the Italian Job haha. Sorry, but Venice was just not for me.
If I could've rented a kayak for the day it probably would've been the greatest day ever. I didn't see a single one on that entire island.
