May 5-Venice

5/5-It's our third day in Venice-Yesterday remained blustery all day, so we never made it

off ship. Today was a little better, so we ventured down to San Marcos Square. Thanks to a

little-known trick in our guide book, we were able to bypass the long line for the basilica

and walk right in. It is quite an awesome sight, especially the detailed mosaic tile work

and some of the historic artifacts. Once again, we wandered the meandering streets back to

the ship, stopping for yet another pizza and a little shopping. Tomorrow it's back to Split,

Croatia.
