On the Dal, the entry was through a long waterway, floating shops on both sides throughout. When I went to Venice, I was informed that the city has been abandoned because of rising water. Dal is living water city, apart from all the comforts of the city, it is decorated with lots of water plants. The houseboat was superb, every part of it was a piece of art, be it furniture, decor or the houseboat itself. In the morning and evening, we enjoyed the nature sitting in the open area of the boat. For shopping also, many items were brought right inside the boat. Food that was ordered was supplied.
