Took the train from Florence to Venice. Met a great couple of ladies...One older woman from Italy and her aide, a lady from Zimbabwe! VERY interesting! Toured Venice. It was SO crowded when we were there. VERY touristy...little booths, etc...Tried to get into Harry's Bar, but they were snooty! So were the gondola guys...So we just had a great lunch & wine, of course. Did a bit of shopping. Got a Murano necklace & earrings, and visited the Ferrari store. Ended up leaving early. Want to return, but not in July. If you go, tour the off streets...Avoid the center. DO the gondola...We were just put off by the commercialism.
