Venice: gondolas and bridges

Hadn't originally planned to go to Venice, but met a new friend who was going, so I tagged along, seeing as it was only a few hours from Milan. I've been wanting to go to Venice for a long time, so I was so excited to see the city, especially as I've heard the city is steadily sinking. And it didn't disappoint! Absolutely beautiful. If not for the tourists everywhere (I know, I am one too) it would be perfect.
