Luzern and off to Venice

Second day in Luzern saw us catch the train to Engelberg to go up to Mt Titlis.  Didn't have the clear weather that we had when going up the Jungfraujoch, so the photos aren't as good.  Different but still a good experience.  Very windy and very cold, learnt our lesson from the Jungfraujoch and brought more warm clothes this time, but still not quite enough.

This morning we caught the train from Luzern to Venice, via Milan.  Venice is a beautiful city, probably my favorite so far.  Got here late in the afternoon and caught a water taxi over to our apartment.  Then went for a walk to look at the markets and get some dinner.  Was dark by then so we walked over to Piazza San Marco to find Cafe Florian.  Have been meaning to visit the Cafe since seeing a picture of it online.  It's apparently the oldest cafe in the world, first opening in 1720.  Coffee wasn't bad (a bit pricey) but they had beautiful live music, and Venice by night is just amazing.

Will have to get some pictures online, but tomorrow we hop onto our cruise and internet access might get a bit spotty then.
