Yes, we were there for some interesting water levels. No where near as high as it can go, not even Aqua Alta (high water), but still enough that we had to look for a couple of alternate routes! Would you like to know more?

I had worked out an itinerary for our trip and we stuck to it quite well. I marked out a whole day for going to the Gallery dell’Accademia, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

The Gallery del’Accademia was a wonderful gallery of full of pre-19th-century religious paintings spanning centuries. By contrast, the Peggy Guggenheim collection is specifically modern art. Would you like to know more?
