Sorry I have no pics to share but adding pictures on an iPad has proven too difficult for me to figure out so I will try again when on the ship using an old fashioned desktop.
Today we explored more of this charming city and I think we crossed all 177 bridges. The weather has fully cooperated but our feet have complained. The Venetians must be very fit to endure the stairs daily.
Dining in Venice is very expensive in the SAN MARCO area, and for the price of a case of beer and litre of wine at home we enjoyed a draft and glass of wine overlooking the grand canal.
We did however find a great restaurant tucked away down one of the thousands of alleyways.The food was great and very reasonably priced.For 4 of us dining and including 1 and 1/2 Litres of wine it was 100 euro.
Part of the adventure of Venice lies in the mystery of wandering down some of the tiny alleyways and having a wonderful surprise emerge.Today we discovered many hidden piazzas as we took a chance on what lay within, but had many u turns as well.
Tomorrow we leave the magic of Venice and begin the Magic of Carnival. I hope to be able to share some pictures at that time.
Goodnight for now .
