Venice tourists up to waists in water
The lagoon city of Venice continues to suffer from high waters which reached five feet above sea level on Sunday after continuous rain pounded many regions of Italy over the weekend.
Some 70 percent of the city was reportedly covered by the flood waters and proved a bizarre spectacle for tourists on the massive Concordia cruise ship as it sailed past the city on Sunday.
Tourists could be seen wading through almost waist-deep water, desperately trying to keep themselves and their belongings dry.
Many shops, houses and other buildings have been flooded and remain closed.

Moment Myanmar quake strikes caught on camera
A strong earthquake of magnitude-6.8 struck northern Myanmar on Sunday, damaging several old Buddhist pagodas, collapsing a bridge and a gold mine and leaving as many as 12 people feared dead.
The moment the quake struck was caught on camera in the Sagaing area, with footage showing the dome of Mya Thein Tan Pagoda swaying dramatically.
State television reported that more than a dozen pagodas and stupas in five townships were damaged in the quake, and many of them had their so-called "umbrellas" atop the dome-shaped structures crash down.
The uppermost parts of the domes usually contain encased relics of the Buddha and small Buddha images, and sometimes jewels.
Damage to them is taken as an especially bad omen.
Myanmar's second-biggest city of Mandalay reported no casualties or major damage as the nearest major population centre to the quake's epicentre near the town of Shwebo.
The biggest single death toll was reported by a local administrative officer in Sintku township - on the Irrawaddy River near the quake's epicentre - who said that six people had died there and another 11 were injured.
According to news reports, several people died when a bridge under construction across the Irrawaddy River collapsed east of Shwebo.
The bridge linked the town of Sintku, 40 miles north of Mandalay on the east bank of the Irrawaddy, with Kyaukmyaung on the west bank.
