Pisa and Venice

Before leaving for Venice, we decided to go to Pisa to see the leaning tower of Pisa. Since Pisa is not exactly on the way from Florence to Venice, we had to buy an additional round trip ticket to go to Pisa before continuing to Venice. Our visit to the city of Pisa was a brief one, which lasted for merely an hour plus. Hence, we didn’t get the chance to enter the structure, and we did nothing but doing stupid poses outside the building (which took us quite a while).

We spent only one night in Venice, the city known for its canals (wiki time: Venice is built on an archipelago of 118 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon, and the islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges). Since the weather was cold and moods were not as high as they were during the first few days, we did not cover a lot of places. Among the places we covered in Venice are as followed: Piazza San Marco, St Mark's Basilica, Ponte dei Sospiri and a church which I don’t recall the name. Regrettably we did not go for the gondola experience, since it was too cold at that time. We did use the water taxi a lot though, since we paid for the pass :)
