MONDAY 25th JUNE 2012.
Where has 40 Days gone, it has passed so quickly, some 14,000 Nautical
miles from home.
Since leaving Athens we have sailed 2 days through the Ionian and the
Adriatic Seas in virtually calm waters and sunny weather before reaching Venice
on Sunday. On arrival it was a beautiful day with clear skies and a fantastic
view from the top deck of the ship through the main canals of Venice to our
berth. With four other cruise ships berthed at the same time, there were a lot
of tourists around the main areas of Venice, particularly St Marks Square.
We were berthed overnight so we took the opportunity to do our own
thing on the Sunday afternoon by taking the water shuttle into St Marks Square
and walking the streets,alleyways and squares along the Grand Canal, the Campo’s
and the Rialto Bridge and Bridge of Sighs. What a fabulous place Venice is,
there is always something new to see, the shopping is great and it is extremely
easy to get around providing you have a good map.The waterways and canals were
also clean and free of rubbish.
We finished the day off with an evening sunset dinner in a little cafe
beside the Grand Canal having a Pizza, a beer ,wine and Coffee, arriving back
at the ship about 10pm for a good night sleep.
Venice is a magic sea port and city which you don’t mind coming back to
time and time again.
Today turned out to be a very hot and hazy day so we spent the morning
relaxing on the ship before an early departure at 2pm for an overnighter to
Dubrovnik
