DAY 6 | Bridge of Sighs. | ||
My Mate Al Vecio has arrived !
It didn't take very long for the sun to climb out of the clouds today.
My Gondolier poses for his first day on the job.
A magical day.
Super model Debbi poses & other models await their turn in the spotlight.
Every bridge offers an opportunity.
Know what I mean Harry?
Fresh Juice and a chance to sit , by this C15th hunchback supporting a set of steps, traditionally used to display a naked wrong-do'er.
The fish Market and later fruit & vegetable stalls remind me of Caroline.
Evidence that the city might well be sinking!
These simple towers pepper the skyline.
The Basilica dei Frari offered a breif respite from the cruel heat.
A sandwich & beer for lunch.
The famous Bridge if Sighs
Leading from the Dog'es Palace to the infamous Venice Prison.
A mere 40 Euros allowed us access to the interior of he bridge & the historic government buildings, of the Dog'es Palace.
The exterior of said Palace.
Another 7 mile explore brings us back to our hotel Flora.
Dinner tonight , at the Devils Forest pub, a pretty good burger and a lot of beer..
