Stayed at apt called "Flat near beach in Punta Sabbioni" (on Airbnb), across the water from Venice. Since we had a car and there is no parking in Venice, we stayed at beach and took the ferry across. After checking in, off to find groceries, and then had our leftovers for dinner!
Next day took ferry to Venice, walked to San Marco Square, raining & crawling with cruise ship people. Took the "Art Tour Boat" (Vaporetto dell Arte) for a tour of the Grand Canale with audio tour. Got off in San Croce, walked around, found, or actually "stumbled upon", great pizza at "Ae Oche", which we found out later was a recommended spot in our Lonely Planet book. You can't help but get lost in Venice, even with Gerry's phone map we couldn't figure out which way to go...streets are narrow, and there are sooooooo many canals, some streets just end at a door!
Walked across Rialto bridge, thru San Marco area, inside St Marks church, then ferry home.
Fish, green beans and salad in our lovely apartment.
almost flooded, sometimes it is!
amazing pizza!
