Out of the Jurisdiction: Venice V










Last week I wrote that my hotel in Venice was just north of Piazza San Marco and overlooked a canal.

Did I also mention that you can arrive and depart in water taxis?  And that you get into the water taxi -- or a gondola -- by crawling through a window in the sitting room?

Locanda Orseolo.

  1. Looks like you have just framed an innocent man.
    PS: I hope you going to post some photos of you climbing through the window. :-)

  4. We organized a group of 16 friends and family for a trip to Italy, and we included Venice. On our gondola tour we were treated to James Bond traveling by boat right between our three gondolas during a break in the filming of Casino Royale.

  5. I would think this might a bit difficult especially for someone who is tall.

  11. Haha, I would love to catch a taxi crawling through a sitting room window. Hope you didn't have to do it *too* often:)
