Day 4 - Venice, Italy

In the morning, we went to St. Mark's square. We took a bus ... a waterbus! First we went to see yet another palace, this time the one of Vennice's old king. It was turned into a museum, with many works of art and old weapons. I liked the weapons the best. There was also a prison connected to the palace. We went there next, and it looked very strong, like no one could get out. But someone did! His name was Casanova, and he got out through a hole in the roof. After the prison, we went to a church close to it to see other art because the church was famous for the mosaics all over the church. They were really nice.

After lunch, we went back to the hotel. Then at four, we took a gondola boat and saw more of the city. I really enjoyed it, and saw many fish and famous buildings. We even saw the house of Marco Polo, the famous explorer! I had lots of fun today.
