Today is Venice day and we decide to take the bus from near our hotel in Mestre to the bustling waterways of Venice.

Arriving in Venice we both agree that a boat journey along the Grand Canal by vaporetti (ferry) would be the best option to get to Piazza San Marco - the heart of Venice.

We disembark from the ferry and pass a multitude of market stalls selling authentic Venetian masks, arts, T-Shirts … you name it! We arrive at the Piazza San Marco with its 98.5 metre St Mark’s Campanile watching over the neighboring Palazzo Ducale and Basilica di San Marco. We decide to leave the crowds of the square and start the real foot work … over bridges and through narrow lanes, past clothing boutiques, and gelato stands, as we wind our way through ancient buildings and palaces (we got lost about 50 times…).
