Day 122 San Marco's Square

Venice is beautiful. The first thing we did was board a water taxi to reach the infamous San Marco's square.

The water taxi was nice. We got amazing views of the canals without shelling out the big bucks for a gondolas. See, budget travel can still be fun.

Arriving at San Marco's square is quite the sight. Erica had downloaded a audio guide so we got lots of interesting facts and such.

Photographs aren't allowed in the church so I will leave you with one of the outside.

Doge's Palace was our next stop. I can't say it was anything amazing. It was nice. There were lots of great rooms with out stuff and walls. Walls with old pretty paintings....err. Hate to say I don't have anything intelligent to say about this one....but it was pretty!
