Off to Bologna

This is my last morning in Venice. I got up early and packed then went out for a walk to see Venice with no people!
more dogs
I was headed to Rialto Bridge
So much nicer without the people!
shops on the bridge. The jewellery is beautiful. The Italians are very good at design. 
a lovely shop window
and another water thingy
how do you get this up steps I wonder!!
the start of my breakfast!
my route the blue route. Only 3 bridges which I managed easily today. Then the bus to the station. I was early of course!! For a seat I got a lady to take a photo of me loaded up.
I've got this down to a fine art now! 
The train trip was great. Only 2hrs and the scenery lovely.
leaving the island.
a big river - did see the name on Google maps
Then it was over.

Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.

A very old pub! Can't find the name of it.
