Hiroko and I caught the two stop and 40 minuti water bus to our stop
(15 euro each). We then carted our 60kg of luggage over a big bridge
and to our hotel. We checked in and washed our feet for refreshment.
Then we went back to the port for lunch and enjoyed a litre of
prosecco with steak and scampi and mixed salad.
And hen we walked to la piazza di San Marco. There were as always a
ton of people and the sun was very strong. We had a coffee on the way
and got our bearings. It's a maze here! An amazing maze. Without a map
and several stops for directions we may not have found it. But we did
and we entered. And Hiroko (being catholic) was stunned speechless by
the beauty of this very old cathedral. She spoke not a word as we
walked slowly through the basilica.
Next we wended our way to Ponto d'ella Rialto and were amazed to see
the Venezia that everyone sees in the movies and photos through
history! Wow!
On our way back we really felt like we were trying to find our way
through a maze as the streets are so narrow and wind back and forth.
Tomorrow is another full day in Venezia and we plan to take the most
of it! But first, dinner in la trattoria and a complete immersion in
the atmosphere! This is much better than the last time I was here
alone!!
