Venice Day 2

We started our day in Venice in style with a gondola ride and then visited the Piazza San Marco which we were suprised to find is cover in ankle deep water most of the day! They use platforms above the water to allow the tourists to travel from one end to the other, and police to direct the traffic!

We had a bit of drama when we came across a man who had suffered a heart attack. He regained conciousness just after we saw him and Jessica helped him into the recovery position and helped until the water ambulance came. Hopefully he was ok, Jessica is certainly keeps her cool under pressure!

We spent most of our day just wandering and exploring as many nooks and crannys of venice as we could. We also went on the water bus down the grand canal and finished our day off with more Gelato.
