Another bright and sunny day in Venice! After a leisurely breakfast we said goodbye to Rosalba, the wonderful
lady who took care of us at breakfast each morning, and made a last shopping
trip to get some bubble bath and a couple of cookies at the pastry shop near
the hotel (as if we really needed cookies!)

Our water taxi came to pick us up a little past noon and
after saying goodbye to Armando and Oliver at the hotel we were on our way to
the ship. As we traveled down the Grand Canal on our way to the Marine
Terminal, I was again taken by how
beautiful this city is especially when seen from the water!

Boarding was quick, our luggage arrived right after lunch
and we were settled in quickly. The ship spends overnight in Venice, but we
decided to stay onboard today and tomorrow and pretend that they are days at
sea since we’ll have so few of those on this cruise. We walked around the ship
a bit and noticed that the pools were closed. In the daily patter it said that because of the shallow
depth of the channels entering and leaving Venice they would remain empty until
we cleared the lagoon.
In the early evening we went up to Skywalkers, the lounge at
the top and all the way aft, for a drink before dinner. Tonight we ate in Sabatinis and
thoroughly enjoyed our veal chop and lobster. By the time we finished it was after 11 PM and it was time
for bed.

Wow Ann I cannot believe how great katie is looking, I saw her pics from the choir tour but didn't really notice until seeing your pics in this thread.
Have fun and enjoy and looking forward to reading all your excursions so I can live vivariously thru you for a while :)
