The alarm went off at 3:15am for the taxi dash to London Stanstead airport. The driver must have been in a hurry... at one point he was traveling at 160km/hr (is that legal?). Flying Ryanair was a budget experience.
We travelled into Venice by bus and were both entranced by our first glimpse of the city from the causeway.
Paul has expertly navigated us around the narrow, confusing alleyways all day keeping a firm grip on his less directionally able wife.
Top sights today include the view from Accademia Bridge (just like the jigsaw at home), St Marks Square, the unbelievably spectacular Basilica and the fantastic views from the 100m high Campanile.
Our hotel, Locandro Art Deco, is a very central place to stay and our room on the 3rd floor is clean and comfortable. Being short is an advantage though.
