Walking tour
Gondola ride
A relaxing start to
the day, not nearly as hot – only 24C. Then we travelled via a waterbus around the
outside parameter of Venice, After about
2 hours we returned to our hotel. Had some
lunch, did some shopping, then went on a 1½ hour walking tour of Venice. Emmanuella, our guide, was the quintessential
Venetian. She gave us a look at sections one does not normally see as a
tourist. The leaning steeple of St
Stephan’s Church and the spiral staircase of the Bovolo Estate were especially interesting.
Capped off the tour with a romantic ½ hour
gondola ride for 2 with Guglielmo, a veteran, very interesting and informative gondolier. Got freshened up, another ride on the waterbus
service, a bit of more shopping, finished up with a delicious pizza
supper. An amazing, lovely day. Tomorrow on to Rome!
