Venice Canal scene

A different sort of water today. From the brilliant frozen white stuff to the salty sea around Venice.

A good journey down from Pedraces to Venice, leaving at a reasonable time, rather than the 5.30am that many guests had to depart in order to catch their flights. As we opted to stay in Venice we were able to leave at the more civilised time of 9.45.

Venice was shrouded by mist with poor visibility which later turned to rain. After checking in to the hotel we braved the narrow streets and passageways to find a recommended pizza place which turned out to be good and reasonably priced.

Staying in a hotel which is very much like a National Trust property. Rather big and grand.
