After a couple of months of waiting I canceled that order because I was having second thoughts on how or if I really needed a camera with so many mega pixels.

We purchased a pass which gave us free access to the both the regular buses lines and the Venice water buses for a 24 hour period so we could hop on and off at our discretion.

It was a good recommendation and my hats off to our friends for their great efforts.
