Thursday 22 September
We woke at 7.00am and headed out early to see Venice without all the crowds of people. An excellent idea as it was so easy to get around and just about the only people out were the locals on their way to work or opening up their shops. So we walked the canals to St Mark's square, which was just about empty. Such a contrast from the MCG size crowd of yesterday. We visited St Mark's Basilica, the Academia Museum (Jen was foaming at the mouth with excitement in here) and a couple of other churches. We saw some lovely jewelry shops around St Mark's square, Jen particularly liked a €7,700 tanzanite ring, but she did not say please so I left it in the store for another day. The weather was perfect, much warmer than Wales and Amsterdam.
A visit to the supermarket for dinner, which consisted of prosciutto, ham, cheese, tomato, and peach juice. We are heading off to Bologna tomorrow. Accommodation unknown at this stage.
