Venice Day 3

First decision of the day was whether or not to go out to the islands. A visit to the Accademia Gallery decided it for us and we stayed in the city.
The Accademia Gallery displays Venetian art from the 1300s to the 1700s. A fascinating progression through the ages but most fascinating of all is that Venice looks the same now as it did then.
We realise that many of these attractions are so crowded in summer that unless you do a reservation you can queue for hours. We have walked straight into all of them.
We spent the afternoon visiting yet another beautiful church and then finished our visit with a gondola ride... as you do. Expensive, but a great end to the Venice holiday.
