For transportation we used waterbuses or the vaporetti (main transportation) to get from our hotel to the different islands within the city. We visited Murano island where Venetian glass is made, and even bought a couple pieces that are being shipped home.
Of course we couldn't leave Venice without a couple of rides on the Gondola. The gondola is the classical Venetian boat with crushed velvet seats and Persian rugs. This was the highlight of our trip, we enjoyed riding through the small narrow canals and seeing all of the colorful buildings and bridges. We loved the West Coast of Italy and now we love Venice! Italy is beautiful and I would love to go back and visit again one day.
