Venice got very rich by using ships to trade things that others wanted and they had. They were good at making and sailing ships which is what you would think, because it is a city almost built on water. Then they started losing money because Portugal had stuff that they had sailed to different countries for.
Venice is today is now a place for tourists coming and going. Its like a playground for tourists and only 60000 people live here which surprises me, because I thought Venice would be bigger than Christchurch.

How lucky are you Callum that you got to visit Venice! Did you go on any water taxis?
I can't wait until you get back to class and can share some of the things you learnt overseas!
Mr G.
no we didn't go on a water taxi but we did go on a water bus.
