For this long panoramic view of Venice, Italy from the water, the camera was set on the boat's hand rail, and the boat moved in a graceful arc. Fully zoomed in, aspects of Venice are revealed that would not be visible to the naked eye. This is the best segment of water views of Venice. Our Perillo Tours Familia enjoyed sitting for a bit, absorbing all we had seen in St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace of Venice, Italy. Then, the black and white lighthouse of the Murano Glass factory greet us. www.perillotours.com http://jpmeyer.com
Venice, Italy travel: our Perillo Tours Familia Gondola ride. Our group assembling in the Hotel Europa and Regina, the nicest hotel we had on our Perillo tour of Italy. Of course, when in Venice, one must take a gondola ride. This was a bit expensive, but there was a complimentary bottle of wine, a powerful tenor belting out stereotypical favorites, and countless photo ops. www.perillotours.com http://jpmeyer.com
Leaving Venice may have been one of the most difficult things our Perillo Tours Familia had to do on this trip. In that spirit, here is another edit of our departure. In this segment, the camera captures the Grand Canal and some of the beautiful smaller canals of Venice, for a wonderful eight minute mini tour of the city. www.perillotours.com http://jpmeyer.com

Italy travel: Florence walk, and Perillo Tours bus footage to Pisa
Italy travel: On our way to Pisa! Florence Ponte Vecchio. We had more time later for exploration. This footage is our Perillo Tours Familia walk back to our hotel, and some footage from the bus. First, a river rower contemplating the minor waterfall of the Arno River. (Interestingly enough, Pisa also lies on the Arno River, despite the 90 minute drive between the two cities!) Then some hillside villages on the way to Pisa. We passed a true Roman water aqueduct, which would certainly have been worth a stop. We're on our way to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

Galapagos Islands, North Seymour, Mama frigate feeds baby. This is the second fantastic sequence from this island. Wait for it...wow, how far down can that baby go? jpmeyer.com
Well, that was quick! Our Perillo Tours Familia spent more time traveling to and from the Leaning Tower of Pisa than we did visiting the Tower. We would not have missed it, but again, it would have been nice to have the time to climb to the top. At the end of this segment, you can see more of the mile after mile of nurseries on the side of the road as we drive back to Florence.

Galapagos Islands, Santa Cruz, Galapagos tomato patch, poison apple tree, and flower of a nut.
Galapagos Islands, Santa Cruz, Galapagos tomato patch, poison apple tree, and flower of a nut. These tomatoes only grow on the Galapagos. Klaus said it took the foremost "tomato-ologist" a long time to figure out how to germinate the seeds. Here's a riddle for you: We all took some seeds home with us, but without violating any of the strict import/export rules. Did anyone try to germinate the seeds? As Sherlock Holmes would say, "It's alimentary, my dear Watson." jpmeyer.com
Italy travel: Pompeii. Our Perillo Tours Familia sees the Temple of Vespasian, beginning with an arch which had such tremendous detail that it was covered in plexiglass for preservation. The video shows that dogs were welcome in Pompeii! The side of the altar facing the forum has a relief carving representing a sacrificial scene. The offering in this scene is a bull, indicating that the sacrifice was for a living emperor.

Italy travel: Rome, St. Peter's Square architecture and the blessings of Pope Benedict XVI with Perillo Tours of Italy
Italy travel: Rome, St. Peter's Square during the live blessing of the crowd by Pope Benedict XVI. The large screen video screens make it easy to see the Pontiff no matter where you are in St. Peter's Square. The Pope's message continues in the background while the video camera explores some of the architectural marvels of St. Peter's Square. Predictably, the thrill of the Pope wears off quickly for the kids. Our entire Perillo Tours Familia is soon off to Rome's Colosseum.

On the Rock Climbing Wall. The crew was very helpful in getting us ready to "ring the bell." It took more time to read and sign the release form than anything else. From our vantage point on the observation deck of the rock climbing wall, you can see the inline skating track behind the full-sized basketball court. Next to that is the miniature golf course, which is particularly challenging on a rolling ship. It was very windy that day on the high seas. Personally speaking, there's an exhilarating sense of accomplishment at ringing that silly bell. Sebastian's assessment: "It gave me a wedgie." Priceless. jpmeyer.com
