Episode synopsis

The Inspector weaves his way through the canals of Venice, Italy on a classic gondola, checking out the busy Grand Canal and passing under such beautiful bridges as the Accademia Bridge and the Rialto Bridge. He also stops off at St. Mark's Square, and travels to the little island of Murano to learn the age-old art of glass-blowing. Gadget sails down the amazing Nile River in Egypt where he explores the many uses of papyrus, learns why camels are considered a desert man's best friend, and discovers how Egyptians have learned to store precious Nile water with catch basins, irrigation channels and ultimately with the Aswan High Dam.
