Last day in Venice
We had one whole day in Venice to do what we liked, it was luxury to just wander the streets and alleyways and get lost amongst the shops, restaurants and bridges of this most fascinating place. It must be very hard living in a place like this as all goods have to come over by boat and that takes time. We arrived and were met at the airport by a driver who took us as far as he could, then we hopped aboard a water taxi and had a lovely boat ride along the Grand canal with great views of the city all lit up. As they had a high tide we couldn't go all the way to our mooring, so were dropped off and walked about 10mins to our Hotel, (a kindly man taking our luggage over bridges and along alleyways). We stayed at the Hotel Kette and was a lovely place to stay as were not far from St. Marks square, so a leisurely walk there was easy. The weather was superb and the cruise ships were in and there were people everywhere, we managed to get into some quieter streets and enjoyed wandering in peace and quiet.
We had two wonderful meals here in the same restaurant and as we left there were people waiting outside and had been there for quite awhile, just wanting to get in for a meal (and it was a big restaurant), now that wouldn't happen at home.
