Underwater in Venice (1)

A conference in Venice? Great! In December? Well, still pretty good. Two days after the worst flooding in Venice in over 20 years? Mmmm.

So today I traveled from Geneva to Venice, expecting the worst as my hotel is only 50 yards from San Marco, the lowest point in Venice and the center of the worst flooding...


Waiting for take off at Geneva Airport


A view of the Alps from the plane


This was just cool - the camera captured the shadow made by the spinning propeller - which was not visible to the naked eye


Water taxi to the hotel


Getting closer - what lovely weather!


Heading up the canal...
