19th May 2013
Woke early this morning at 7.30am alarm after a whole nights sleep.After breakfast we set off in the rain for Venice walking to the bus stop on the main road to the bus station where we changed buses, and caught the bus to punta sabione. Once at punta sabione we caught the boat to Venice San Marco. We headed straight to San Marco square had coffee and hot chocolate in caffe florian which was established in 1720. The drinks were served on a silver tray and we even paid €12.00 for the orchestra! We then headed for the Rialto bridge and market. The bridge was larger than expected.There was some kind of regatta taking place with lots of boats, canoes and gondolas sailing past along the grand canal.We then headed for the Rialto market and purchased some souvenirs ( including a brolly)and then the sun came out. We then made our way to Harry's Bar for our signature bellini's at €15.00 each however we had to cherish the moment which was wonderful. Unfortunately the queue for the basilica San Marco was too long for us to wait. After spending the whole day in Venice our feet were tired so we headed back to the campsite by ferry, and bus which took 2 hours.To finish off a lovely day we had an Italian meal then back to the motorhome for an evening to reflect our special day.
