An early morning, long taxi ride and short flight - and voila! we are in Venice and boarding our cruise. There is a holiday in Venice today so we can't board at the usual pier for cruise lines. Instead we head to the commercial pier. No big deal, just not really anything pretty to look at and it takes us a little long to get out to sea. It is a beautiful day and not - hot, but the breeze off the water keeps us cool.
There are a ton of pleasure boats in the water. I guess for this holiday they have a bunch of fireworks on the water so they all stay on their boats for the show. Would be cool to see but unfortunately we had to depart at 5 PM.
We meet up with our friends Chris and Lisa. It is their wedding anniversary so we have a nice dinner on the patio. The food on the boat is fantastic. I am sure my clothes will be feeling very tight by the time we get off.
After dinner, we head to the casino for a little 3 card poker. Ron got a straight flush! Cha Ching! First time ever for him and it was very exciting.
A great start to the cruise!
Location:Venice
Congrats Ron we are thrilled you finally feel the joy of a straight flush! Bryan wants to know what your bet was!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think Ron bet $30. It was $5 minimum. I think he won about $500 (does that make sense)
DeleteFun!
