The plan was to visit the Academia early to avoid the crowds and then take the Vaporetto to the Lido for a couple of hours cycling.
The first part was accomplished successfully but we have to say that the gallery was rather disorganised and rooms were closed and attendants did nor seem to know where collections were on display. However, we had our fill of Tintoretto, Titian, Veronese et al but sadly no Canaletto.
On then to the Vaporetti to the Lido when disaster struck!! All bikes had already been hired - various rental shops were visited but no luck. We walked a couple of miles around the northern end of the island and then decided that lunch was in order. Ray was pacified with an excellent Calves Liver Venetian style and a soupçon of Vino Rossi.
Back then to our apartment and it started raining quite heavily with thunder and lightning so we stayed in, had a a very good supper and watched a film.
