Learning to Navigate Canals

Picture is of The Doge's Palace in St Marks Square. It's one of the buildings that faces the lagoon that you see in the famous pictures. I was really impressed by the detail in the church but not so much the rest. Picture of the church to come. The square was big, there were lots of pigeons.

Because of the extra cost incurred by arriving in Venice by way of Scotland we have decided to forfeit our roadtrip. Instead we will take the more cost effective train straight to Florence for one night skipping Bolgna then on to Rome. On the upside this allows us another day in Venice which is great since there is lots yet to do here.

Tomorrow we will watch the Palm Sunday Procession involving Olive Branches instead of Palm Fronds. The procession meanders through the Dosodoro Distric's campos (church squares). Then we will explore some islands, Murano to see glass blowing and Burano to see lace making.
Then who knows.
