DAY FIVE : June 22, 2011.

     That following morning, I woke up in Venice, Italy. It was late last night when we arrived at the Danieli Hotel, so everyone went to sleep. Being so tired the night before, we failed to admire this hotel's beauty. It was absolutely incredible! We woke up, and had yet another wonderful breakfast. I was in a wonderful mood, and ready to take on Venice! 

     First, we took a relaxing boat ride on the Grand Canal, through the center of Venice. Then, we shopped for a couple hours. We visited all of the little shops, and even a couple bakeries and cafes. We visited the Palazzo Ducale, and learned of it's history, then we finally visited the Campanile di San Marco. It is originally a lighthouse, to assist navigation in the lagoon. Visitors can be taken to the top by elevator, which is what we did. 

     Seeing that it was close to seven thirty, we decided to eat at Fiaschetteria Toscana. I was getting used to dining on fine Italian cuisine, and now that I'm not there, I really have missed it. This restaurant, though, was one of my favorites, even though it was very simple.
