We Never Made It To Venice - Laptop[00:00:00]
Written by:Jesse Hartman[00:00:02]
We never made it to Venice[00:00:18]
We didn't last very long[00:00:35]
We didn't make it to Venice[00:00:47]
A romantic way to tour Venice is aboard a gondola at sunset[00:00:53]
As you travel down the grand canal[00:00:58]
You sail past the great churches and simple homes of the Venetians[00:01:01]
The trip takes you beneath many bridges[00:01:07]
Including the most famous the rial to bridge[00:01:09]
Another is the bridge of sighs[00:01:14]
Where countless lovers have exchanged countless pledges of fidelity[00:01:17]
Such fidelity is tested at carnival time however[00:01:22]
When devout but pragmatic Venetians don colorful[00:01:27]
Masks to act out their last minute desires[00:01:31]
Before the start of the Easter seasons[00:01:34]
We recommend a stay at one of the fine hotels overlooks the lagoon[00:01:38]
The long dry palace for example with its 19th century furniture[00:01:44]
Fine original paintings and the marble bathrooms[00:01:49]
It also offers one of Venice's most romantic views[00:01:53]
Of the famed island of sane Giorgione[00:01:56]
Paladin church[00:01:59]
The hotel Giorgione or then[00:02:02]
Once a palace of the 15th century[00:02:05]
Is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Venice[00:02:07]
With four stars it offers a perfect blend of old fashioned charm[00:02:11]
Modern comfort and polite service[00:02:16]
A few steps from the legendary sane Marco square is the hotel Bisanzio[00:02:20]
For years lovers have reveled in the unforgettably romantic atmosphere[00:02:26]
A Jacuzzi accompanies every one of its 70 rooms[00:02:31]
Adjacent is the basilica den sane Marco[00:02:36]
Which is one of the most famous buildings in all of Venice[00:02:40]
Built to honor the apostle[00:02:43]
Mark the walls and ceilings are adorned with great art[00:02:45]
There are more than 43 000 feet of gold mosaics[00:02:50]
The palm Dobro has 250 gold plated paintings[00:02:54]
And is covered with precious gems[00:02:59]
Including 1 300 pearls 400 garnets 90 rubies 300 emeralds 90 amethysts 300 sapphires[00:03:01]
Saint mark's body which was lost after a fire in 976[00:03:14]
Miraculously reappeared a century later and is stored in the alcove[00:03:19]
The basilica's roof glimmers with ornate statues of bronze and gold[00:03:24]
The best time to experience sane Marco is during a high mass[00:03:30]
When the ceremony brings the church to life[00:03:34]
It can be toured daily and some tours are conducted in English[00:03:37]
