Rialto Market

Venice day 3 and still resisting the gondola shots. Well, I am taking lots of cliched Venice shots to be honest, just trying to pick the less obvious ones for the daily blip...

After that, a trip round the Palazzo Ducale, the Doges' Palace, in St Mark's Square. Probably the highlight so far - fascinating place, especially the Bridge of Sighs part. All photography banned though, outrageously! I did sneak a few shots in...
