Venice for 4 nights.

It was great arriving in Venice by train.
Our hotel was just off a side canal of the Grand Canal and we just walked everywhere - it wasn't necessary to swim.
Every time I saw one of these reminded me of John Cleese's travelogue where he ends up ranting about "more fucking gondolas"
An early stop was Harry's bar where such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway and Charlie Chaplin would hang out - a bit of a special place this.

We loved the Doges Palace with it's Bridge of Sighs and also enjoyed the Accademia but just walking around was the best bit of Venice - just being there.
