 | Full day in VENICE
As
you approach the city over the bridge from the Italian mainland, you
leave behind terra firma and, with it, earthbound notions of how to see
and experience a city. Venice is not solely the spill of churches and
palazzi on either side of the Grand Canal, but rather a city of
islands, 118 in all, some of which are little more than the weedy,
humps you see in the Lagoon of Venice.
Group dinner

The videos
shown on the bus partly pertain
to the Holocaust sites we will visit shortly before we are visiting
them. For the other part they contain information regarding the cities
we are approaching. One video concerns the life of Miep Gies, Anne
Frank's helper.
Pictures are merely a way to give an impression of what we will
actually see on the trip. Hotels in particular always give pictures of
their most beautiful rooms. |
