Sunday in Venice

On Sunday morning we headed to Accademia, then headed over to Santa Maria della Salute just to see it. Then we were off to Saint Mark's to see the museums and the loggia. It's great to be up there.



It finally sunk in that the original horses from the balcony are Roman and not original to the church. No one is quite sure where they came from. After Saint Mark's, we had our gondola ride!



We went through the small back canals in San Polo, so it was calm and quiet!



We saw this guy on his water bike, it counts as a human powered vehicle so he can pretty much go down any canal. And it's a good way to use that bike, since they are prohibited otherwise.



It was a lot of fun, I'm glad we got to do it!



As we pulled out along the grand canal, the sun was setting. It was a perfect moment. After our ride, we relaxed a bit before heading to Da Fiore for dinner. Another lovely meal. Ross and Mark shared a monkfish!
