Venice Day Two

Today we went out by boat to see the northern part of the lagoon. Unfortunately we didn’t realize that the boat does not always go to the same stops and we therefore had a moment of panic when we realized we had gone to Triporte rather than Torcello which had been our original destination.

So we went all the way to the end of the run and then came back to Burano – I can’t help thinking they must have thought we were nuts. Burano was very pretty with its multi-coloured houses

We managed to walk all the way around Murano looking at about 100 glass shops but not buying anything.

Unfortunately the weather is not of the best today. We walked straight over to St Mark’s Square in the pouring rain with my hands freezing.

Venice is really beautiful though – and I had underestimated how nice it would be not having the constant pressure of traffic.

Here is the view from the bell tower – it was very cold from the top.

Walking round the square once we got down, I realized that 04/11/66 was a special day in Venice and not in a good way – of course this is my day of birth.

On our way back to the hotel we met a rather nice cat.
