The two full days we spent in Venice were almost just enough...not quite though so we'll need to come back. We didn't have a chance to fit in the iconic gondola ride...or get to Lido...or see Paul Allen's yacht (though we did see a massive one named the Phoenix2 which is owned by a Polish billionaire who's only worth 3.5 billion - a measly 20% of Paul's worth;)
But we did fit in plenty...a visit to St. Marks...touring the Doges Palace...climbing the Camanile/bell tower...taking the vaparetto to visit San Giorgio Maggiore... of course making sure we crossed all four bridges across the Grand Canal...doing a little window shopping (and ensuring we didn't bring home a watch that cost €23600)...and of course fitting in a lot of venetian food and wine! All in all a successful visit. Only thing I'd change is the amount of cruise ships that could dock on any given day. Seven is too many! Good thing there are plenty of places on the island to escape!
If you haven't made the trek to Venice, we'd totally recommend it - it's a place like no other!
