We have managed to collect a lot of Venice pictures. All of them are sequenced in proper order helping the viewer to know the place right from the point we left our hotel in Pordenone to Venice Omni Bus stand.
We landed on February the twenty second Monday morning in the Venice airport. The weather was very chill with the temperature dipping to 3 degree Celsius. Very soon we had to change to warm clothes to counter the chillness. We went to the nearby town Pordenone via Udine. It was almost an hour’s drive from the airport in a company owned Mercedes E class limousine. The drive comforted us due to the heater that was running throughout the journey. We were just gaping at the village side scenic beauty which seemed like some the pictures seen in magazines. We stayed that night in the hotel and trying to forget the jet lag we were in. The next day morning, we were getting ready for the tour to Venice. Our driver was at the hotel sharp at 7:00 am to pick us up in his gray colored Fiat Punto. We got into the car which later negotiated many bends within the town to catch up the highway leading to Venice.

We halted for a quick coffee here. After an hours halt, we drove along the country side enjoying the excellent view of snow clad mountains, and the farm houses amidst the vast.
