We had breakfast at the hotel and we went to catch the vaporetto. We spend all the day in Venice. We visited the St. Marcos Square and Ducal Palace: a gothic palace in Venice. In Italian it is called the Palazzo Ducale di Venezia. The palace was the residence of the Duke of Venice. Aprt from being the Duke's residence, the palace housed political institutions of the Republic of Venice until the Napoleonic occupation of the city. We could see the famous Bridge of Sighs (Italian: Ponte dei Sospiri) it is one of many bridges in Venice. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone and has windows with stone bars. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. The view from the "Bridge of Sighs" was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. A local legend says that lovers will be assured eternal love if they kiss on a gondola at sunset under the bridge.
We had lunch in Taberna dei Dogi. Then, we had all the afternoon free and we could walk around Venice and buy souvenirs. Some people went on a gondola but it was so expensive. We returned to the hotel for dinner and then we went to the disco. It was a fantastic day!
