Venice, Bridge By Bridge

Intrepid explorer and author Charl Durand set himself a goal: To visit, photograph and cross one hundred of the most picturesque bridges in the romantic city of Venice, all in one day! From dawn to dusk he climbed up and down more than two thousand steps along a ten-kilometer route that covered the whole of Venice. Did he succeed in fitting one hundred bridges into twelve hours? This volume chronicles the One Hundred Venice Bridges Challenge, describing each bridge he stopped at, the whimsical names, histories, and surroundings of each. Venice, Bridge By Bridge is an inspiring and educational book for travelers and those interested in the history of this magnificent city.
