Day Fourteen - Photo a Day

I love this photo so much, It is of the lovely gondolier we had in Venice. And yes, I was about to call him a gondola man, but then remembered the helping hand that is google.

He was extremely proud of his city and pointed out the important sights on the little tour. We went around one of the islands which had the opera house and a beautiful church  close by. The onto the grand canal to 'park up' which was so busy!

Mr Gondolier told us it wasn't usually this busy but a building had collapsed on the normal gondola routes and so that canal was closed and everyone was having to go on the grand canal. Good news though as we were close to 3 gondolas with singers in them and they synchronised which was lovely...it also lengthened the trip to an hour instead of thirty mins :)


Thanks for reading xx
