Once the Rainy Venice became Sunny Venice, that’s when the fun really began for me. I had never seen such amazing color contrast! The pictures I was taking were amazing. So naturally, we went back to all the sites we had already seen. I snapped away at every sunny Venice scene I saw.
The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge which once led to the corrections facility of Venice. The name comes from the sighs that could be heard as the prisoner passes the windows to see one last look at the beautiful beautiful Venice canal.
We went back to Saint Mark’s Square and retraced our steps, but not before getting lost and ending up on the opposite side of the island. We circled around and around the tiny alleyways and across the canal bridges. Following the signs has always been how I navigate, but here, the locals may have played a trick on us, for we eventually discovered that there were signs pointing opposite directions for the same thing!
It wasn’t all bad though. The pictures I captured getting lost in Venice were some of the best of the entire trip! The blue skies and golds of St. Mark’s Basilica complimented each other so perfectly. Even St. Mark’s Tower became more of a site. It was all breathtaking, but it quickly became very hot outside, though. After a couple of hours wandering the streets and climbing many bridges, we decided it was time for a nap.
I knew that more amazing pictures were waiting to be captured. So we slept until sunset.
