Our apartments are well located and we enjoyed the balcony this morning. We watched the sun rise above the church towers and sunlight danced off the water of the canal. I could live in Venice ( assuming we won gold lotto and learnt Italian.)
Down at the docks near San Marco we watched a cruise ship move down the grand canal. It made us feel guilty, as the monster really had no place polluting the city scape of ancient Venice.
Experienced aqua Alta floods again, though not as high as our last visit.
From San Marco we headed to Railto Bridge. The streets are completely packed with tourists.
Near the Raito Bridge area a Renaissance era 24 hour clock still working after 450 years.
Along the way we explored the many laneways that snake their way through the city.
I got another Venice tie to add to beautiful one that Jacqs brought back 2 months ago.
We headed back to apartments mid afternoon not before enjoying a local pizza.
Late afternoon we explored the docks of lagoon near St Marco square. It gets dark about 5pm in afternoon.
In the evening we visited our dinner restaurant- Sestante. Very friendly staff and lovely food.
After dinner we did a quick explore near our apartments. Interesting to see it in daylight when we return in a month’s time.
On other news- it appears that our cruise has changed due to “technical issues “. We miss out on two ports at this stage. Currently following up with NCL for more information and returned credit. Not happy but we assume they will be dealing with 2000 angry passengers tomorrow on embarkation.
