Apologies about the lack of photos; the broadband is very limited here and we are not allowed to upload lots of data. I will try to work out how it can be done.
Wednesday dawned bright and sunny but cool in the mornings and indeed evenings. The LLW needed to catch up on some emails so Ray had a wander around San Polo which was lovely in the early morning in the Campos.
Work was soon completed and we headed of to the Rialto market to buy prawns, anchovies and vegetables. It's a great market and makes you s wonder why we have such a poor selection of fish available in shops in the UK. On our walk to Rialto we encountered the first real problem of the trip - it is impossible to avoid handbag shops in Venice. Whilst no damage to the Jacksons' purse was suffered this morning, the LLW has a worryingly determined look about her!
A coffee to watch the world go by and we returned to our apartment to put the purchases in the fridge then it was time for a light lunch in Campo San Giacomo dell'Orio.
We walked down to the San Stae Vaporetti stop and caught the No 1 to San Marco where the crowds were enormous. Every nationality appeared to be in St Marks square and why not as Venice is truly unique and there is nowhere else like it on this planet.
We avoided the most expensive coffees in the world and walked back through the narrow lanes to Rialto and on to our apartment. The area where we are staying is great since it is close to all of the sights but away from most of the tourist hordes!
