Baby, Let's Cruise... The Enchanting Canals of Venice

I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs; A palace and a prison on each hand; I saw from out the wave of her structure's rise As from the stroke of the enchanter's wand: A thousand years their cloudy wings expand Around me, and a dying Glory smiles O'er the far times, when many a subject land Look'd to the winged Lion's marble pines, Where Venice sate in state, throned on her hundred isles.  Lord Byron

On the last day in Venice before the beautiful Silver Whisper set off for Croatia, all of us who were part of the "Lidia group" had the pleasure of attending an elaborate luncheon in a fabulous private palazzo. 

As you would expect, the food and wine (from Lidia's vineyards, natch) was heavenly; but just as wonderful was the trip to the palazzo.

A thousand thanks - grazie mille - to Bob and Cindi for providing this video.  Bob filmed our journey from the ship's dock to the palazzo; and along the way you can see the spectacular architecture of Venice.

How's it going?

I just found your site but I like it a lot. I have a travel blog as well. I want to build a site that is useful for anyone who is planning to take a vacation in the future.

I was wondering if we could do a link exchange to spread some traffic around. Please let me know.
