Day 2 - I woke up @ 5:45am this day to try to explore the city of Venice in the early morning. I took some nice shots of St. Mark's square and the main canal. What was crazy to me was after about 2 hours, St . Mark's filled out to some 10,000 people within 3 hours after I woke up. The previous evening rained a little bit, but this next day turned out to be a beautiful day in Venice. My family wanted to experience the gondola ride so we asked our hotel where we could hire someone for such a ride. He quickly made a couple a of phone calls and within 30 min. he said a gondola operator would swing by the hotel to pick us all up. The gondola ride lasted about 45 min. through the canals of Venice. This was really a cool experience. Too bad the gondola guy didn't sing "O solo mio." That would have been epic.
