Bacino Orseolo


Rigt near Piazza San Marco, past the Procuratie Vecchie, this large artificial pool is one of the main locations where gondolas are parked at night. A very busy place in the morning, when tourists begin to rush in for a gondola trip.

A new take on a traffic jam. I love it!

I always wonder how they manage to maneuver around each other without any mishaps—but now I notice the bumpers hanging over the sides of the gondolas. Guess they're not taking any chances!

These fellows, and the bus drivers on the Amalfi Coast, deserve medals!

Oh, the word verification I had to enter is a greeting from the north of Italy, I do believe: 'mandi'.

And overlooked by one of the best B&B in the world (not mine, honest)
