Reluctantly left Cinque Terre behind but so looking forward to Venice. Managed to navigate another three train changes plus a water taxi from the station to our hotel… And we are actually really truely in Venice!
Short taxi ride later arrived at our hotel – on a small canal with gondoliers ferrying their passengers past our windows. Can’t believe we are here!
Our room is great ✅, head out to get amongst it all.
Delightfully lost most of the afternoon, so many streets, bridges, alleys – thanks maps for helping us home! Lots of folks walking around listening to Siri’s dulcet tones in lots of different languages – hilarious! We briefly passed by the Rialto Bridge – as did everyone else visiting Venice this afternoon, so packed!
Lots of walking tour groups – seem to be everywhere with scarves on battons leading folks with audio guides. We were sitting in a small piazza people watching ( so great in Italy – is that wrong to say that ???) when a couple of fellas came to the waiter at the small tavern where we were sitting and a distinctive voice says ” can we have a coupla beers mate, geez it’s warm”. Loved it!
Buonno notte Venezia see you in the Morning 💤💤
