Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!!

Venice, Italy

Got up at 5am to watch the ship sail into Venice. It actually
goes through part of the largest canal. It was a very fun
experience. Afterward we docked we received a delivery so
spent the day in the stockroom (deck 3) checking in the new
stores. Worked until about 7pm. Afterward, we took the
water-taxi into St. Mark's Square just to walk around (and grab
a slice of pizza). It's such a pretty city at night.
Shops closed due in-port overnight.

Still in Venice.

Worked for a few hours in the store room
organizing after yesterday's delivery. Then starting at 11:45am
until 3:30pm did "embark's". As new guests embark onto the
ship we escort them to lunch or room. Then took the ferry
shuttle back into Venice. Had a fantastic day just walking
around. Came across a nice park, a tree-lined
pedestrian lane, beautiful monuments, interesting art,
Campo d'Arsenal, more gondolas, bought some gelato,
listened to the church bells, plus did some souvenir shopping.
Shops closed due in port all day (yeah!).
