8 a.m. – To start off the day, we had breakfast at the hotel and then loaded the bus to Tronchetto.
9:30 a.m. – When we arrived there, we hopped on a private boat to get St. Mark's Square in Venice.
11 a.m. – The first stop after we got off the boat was the glass blowing factory, where we got to see a few demonstrations and shop around. The glass was absolutely beautiful!
12:30 p.m. – Right before lunch, we enjoyed our walking tour and we got to see St. Mark's Basillica. After lunch, we of course found some gelato near St. Mark's Square and enjoyed a very peaceful gondola ride!
5 p.m. – To wrap up the day, we enjoyed a delicious team dinner with plenty of pasta and pizza!
7 p.m. – We got back on the boat to Tronchetto for the night … up next, Lake Como!
