Boats, boats, and more boats...

Oct. 17

 

Today there were a lot of boats. We went to the Cemetery Island, which as you could probably guess is a Cemetery. It is the only cemetery in Venice, and is a large island. Due to it being an island, we took a boat to get there.

 

After the island, we took a boat ride down the Grand Canal. You get to see a different side of the city, and get great views.

 

 Lastly, I went on a traghetti. A traghetti, is a gondola ride across the Grand Canal. It's only about three minutes, but it's great if you want to go on a gondola, but are on a budget, or short on time.

 

If going to Italy, I would suggest splitting up the boat rides more, and not doing so many in the same day, as it is a lot.
