Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of
Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a
shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old centre, the canals serve
the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or weddings,
funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses which ply regular routes along the major
canals and between the city’s islands. The city has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians
are the Traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

Jane on the slow boat " It`s alright babe, it won`t be so hot and stuffy once we get moving.”

observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she had a
