Venice on Valentine’s day during carnival.
Our day started with a train ride and private motor boat to Venice as we were staying on the mainland.
First stop, glass blowing.
Item one, a vase, took about 5 minutes at the most.
Item two, a horse that needed to be made in 2 minutes before the glass set.
Off to the canals.
Grand canal.
Lunch after getting lost in the streets
And a gondola ride with Prosecco (sparking white wine)
