They put screens up which showed how the covered part would look like after the renovation.

And wh...Oh Maggie,<br /><br />How beautiful your photos are!!<br />And what an amazing way (and place)<br />to spend your Easter long weekend.<br />I'm sooooo jealous ... but in a <br />nice way. <br /><br />My favourite pictures: the very<br />first one of the building with the<br />turquoise shutters and the Italian<br />flag and also the night time shot. <br /><br />It seems that the best pictures<br />and places were the less touristy<br />areas ~ off the beaten path and<br />away from the crowds and the <br />tourist frenzy. <br /><br />In the first gondola picture the<br />brickwork on the building behind<br />the gondola is so cool. Love<br />that picture too.<br /><br />How long was the flight to Venice?<br /><br />I had to laugh when you mentioned<br />your unease with water. Great <br />place for a person with a water<br />phobia to visit ... Venice!<br /><br />Update of SAL progress on my blog.<br />I didn't catch up to you but I did<br />finish my first house square and<br />make significant progress on a <br />second square. <br /><br />So, will you be watching the <br />wedding on TV?? <br /><br />Cheers!Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-91606989633160972712011-04-28T00:06:41.038+01:002011-04-28T00:06:41.038+01:00Really lovely photos Maggie!

I loved your picture of St. Marks and the one with the blue boats. I liked both so well that I can't decide which one I like best. All your pictures were amazing. But, I'm kinda glad that Venice isn't on my bucket list.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443276914204027757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-82719880890927701722011-04-27T21:52:44.712+01:002011-04-27T21:52:44.712+01:00More lovely Venice photos!

One of my recent trips it was completely covered up (not just the Doge's palace). I've only done the gondola ride once -- agree that it's too expensive and very overrated. <br /><br />I'm glad you had some blue sky, and hope that you enjoyed the unique city!LiahonaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649675385193694957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-22905661828682569052011-04-27T21:38:21.282+01:002011-04-27T21:38:21.282+01:00oooo it was nice to see Venice the good bits and t...oooo it was nice to see Venice the good bits and the bad on the whistle stop tour ..lol wow was there some crowds :( don't do them very well ..
