Chapter 15 "Venice"

Venice is . . . well different. It's the only city in the world with no roads. Yep, you heard it right. No roads. Their entire transport system is either by walking the narrow paths or by boat. If you decide to walk, bring a map. Along my walk, I happened to find the store where Stanley Kubrick bought all his masks for eyes wide shut. Very interesting to try them on and take pictures.
You may also take a gondola ride around the city as bellows of "when the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie . . ." from all the tourists fill your ears but it will cost you (upwards of 100 euro.) My recommendation would be to try the taxi (5 euro.) Though not as exclusive, you still go the same routes and enjoy the same sites (try vaporetto #82.) It will take you to probably Venices main attraction, the Piazza San Marco. All the main attractions are right there. At night, enjoy a classic Italian opera after a walk along the Grand Canal. To make it short and sweet really, Venice is a beautiful city to see, but it will cost you a fortune.
