Venice - Day 2

Gården inde i Doge paladset/The courtyard in the Doge's Palace

Den anden dag havde vi planlagte at se Biennalen, som er en kæmpe kunstudstilling, der afholdes hvert 2. år i Venedig med kunstnere fra hele verden. Biennalen får sit eget indlæg senere, for det var ikke det eneste, vi nåede på den anden dag.
Første stop var Doge Paladset. Vi ville have set Marcus kirken på vejen, men køen var super lang, så vi bestluttede at se den på et andet tidspunkt. Inde i paladset så vi de gamle stats sale og Dogens private gemakker og fængslet, hvor Casanova flygtede fra, samt sukkenes bro indefra.

The second day we had planned to go and see the Biennale which is a rather large art exhibition held in Venice every other year. Most countries in the world have their own pavilions at the Biennale which means that artist from all over the world participate. The Biennale will get its own post later since it wasn't the only thing we did that day.
First stop was the Doge's Palace. We also wanted to see the Saint Mark's Church on the way but the queue was so long that we decided to see it another day. In the Palace we saw the old staterooms, the Doge's private rooms, the prison which Casanova escaped from and the inside of the Bridge of Sighs.
