Riva del Vin, Venice, Italy

We just had to eat dinner at one of the restaurants de la Riva del Vin on the Grand Canal. We certainly paid too much but the atmosphere was worth it.

We started our gondola ride from here also.

Ponte dei Sospiri, Venice, Italy

Connecting the Doge's palace with adjacent prison is the Ponte dei Sospiri, commonly known as the "Bridge of Sighs." Lord Byron helped to popularize the belief that the bridge's name was inspired by the sighs of condemned prisoners as they were led through it to their execution.
