Yesterday the wather was awesome in the morning. Which is good as I can only visit in the morning, I'm babysitting from 12:30.

It's acqua alta in venise those days.
What is that ?.
Caused by :
A very high tide (usually during full moon).
Low atmospheric pressure.
A sirocco wind blowing up the shallow Adriatic, forcing water into the Venetian lagoon.
The lowest part of the city are flooded. Litteraly.
It's actually quite fun to see all that water in the streets, in the most famous squares, and sometimes you just can't help but wonder how you are going to go to the place you want without having your shoes flooded too.
Venice is really awesome for many different things. It's a very small city, you can go from one side to the other in 45 minutes. Also there is NO cars. You go anywhere by feet or using the vaporetto which are the Venice's bus. Except that thy are boats. You can also take the taxis ( boats too ) or the gondoles but the later are very slow while the taxi are very expensive.
Anyway, here are some pictures I took of the city !
