Around St Mark"s Square, Venice

I went on another virtual walk this evening, this time  a little nearer to home: Venice.  I've been to Venice for real, twice, but the last time was 44 years ago when I was 21.  Its a fascinating city and I had hopes of returning one day but couldn't afford it, so the next best thing is a virtual tour like this one. 

Here is a link to info about the tour.  And here is a link to a Wikipedia article on Venice.


Our guide, Giacomo.
