Another great day... We had a private tour with a lovely Venetian named Coreena. She majored in Art History and was quite knowledgeable. We learned all about the history of Venice, how it was built and how , through global warming it is "sinking". The buildings are not sinking but the water is rising. Water is almost ground level and many years ago there were at least seven steps which are now under water!! The Basillica was amazing and so beautiful. We also spent quite a bit of time in the Doge's Palace. Another beautiful building with so much history. The architecture is second to none. We ended with a private boat tour of the grand and side canals.
The last picture is the famous Riolto Bridge at night! We ended our night with drink on the terrace with the owner Mateo and his wife Barbara. They went home to eat and we went home to BED!!
