Venice
Venice is venice. So wonderful. The only problem was I had vertigo and had to stay behind. I slept for 3 hrs and felt better. So off on our adventure. we took the bus to the port, grabed a water taxi down the grand canel and tried to meet up with our group. Missed them by 5 mins. Took a water taxi to island of Burano all the homes are painted different bright colors ,to try and catch up with them. We did catch up with them and came back to the hotel.
Assisi and Ravenna
We stopped in Assisi for 1 night and I just loved it. wanted to stay longer. The Assisi Basilica of St. Francis had some beautiful fresco paintings so brilliant.
Ravenna had some lovely mosaics at the Church of St. Apollinaris.
