During acqua alta, most tourists sit in a restaurant, tapas bar or cafe — enjoying a cup of coffee, food, or pastries — while waiting for the water level to decrease so they can continue to explore Venice.  On the other extreme, some tourists will embrace the rare opportunity to venture out their unique experiences in Venice. Will you be adventurous enough to do an activity beyond your comfort zone, knowing there are nowhere else on earth to duplicate these experiences?
