Venice

I had a lovely sleep in and after doing my washing headed to breakfast. A sumptuous features! Prosecco for breakfast! A perfect start to the day.

what a feast!

Then some housekeeping and out I went.

I found my way to St Mark's Square. The last time I was hear was with Les in 1994. That time it rained. Today there was scaffolding everywhere. There's always something going on here. 

on the way

there's always someone carrying something up or down these steps. 

the tower at St Mark's

there was beautiful music playing. I've got 2 videos when I can learn how to post them. 

Then I just wandered keeping the Grand Canal on my left. Always such fun and nobody telling me the history! No more tours for me for a while!

every big name is here. Obviously plenty of money around.

and him! I know he's dead but his spirit lives on.

i thought this might lead somewhere but no it didn't.

look at this up close. It's exquisite.

a place to catch a boat

autumn showing!

a huge number of people got off a boost here. I don't know where they all fitted.

even fruit and veg!

my morning walk!

I headed back to home for a bit of a break then headed out to the railway station to see what was like in the light!

i presume that trolley thing is for bags because there were several of them. People who are used to navigating the many bridges.

that is my boat - the B boat!

it really is quite beautiful.

my afternoon walk.

I found a lovely restaurant in a square for dinner. 3 Proseccos and liver and onions venetian style was the perfect end to the day. I also got a bonus Lemoncello which was a nice touch.
