There were gondolas about of course. The gondoliers stand on a small platform on the left with their oar on the right, the gondola is shaped with a curve to the right to accommodate this.
Quiet little canal near the bed and breakfast we stayed at.
Masks were everywhere! As I learned from reading Dan Brown's new book (it was basically my tour book for Venice...) the beaked masks are plague doctor masks.
St. Mark's Basilica with the Doge's Palace on the right
St. Mark's Campanile
View from the top of the Campanile
Bridge of Sighs, connecting two parts of the Doge's Palace (prison on the right to I'm assuming something nice on the left).
Rialto Bridge
Venice was like a maze with high walls and narrow streets.
We sampled Ned's choice at dinner, spaghetti al nero di seppia (spaghetti in squid ink)!
