Flight and First Day in Venice

We started out our journey with a nights stay at the Sofitel at Gatwick North terminal. We really liked the hotel, it was very modern, classy and very well maintained. On Thursday 25th May we caught the 1pm BA flight to Venice. Once at the airport in Venice, we took the shuttle bus into Piazzale Roma, at one end of the Grand Canal, and then dragged our cases across bridges to our Hotel, the Carlton and Grand Canal. We really liked the hotel and its perfect location on the Grand Canal. From the hotel it was easy to cross the bridge and explore the marvelous streets and alleyways of Venice. We spent the rest of Thursday exploring Venice, walking to St. Marks Square and catching the waterbus back to the hotel.
