Sorry I had a blog siesta. I did begin but uploading the photographs takes quite along time.
The weather has been wonderful this week - very cold but with a beautiful blue sky.
Monday I went out for a trip round the lagoon to a church St Pietro di Castello on the other side - it is actually the cathedral church of Venice. Then i went to look at a 5* hotel Il Doge that I had been told about. It has a hidden garden & a great view over to Murano.
Then I walked through the Ghetto and had lunch at an Isreali restaurant. he meze starter would have been sufficient.
The skyscrappers ov Venice and my delicious meze
In the evening I went to the circolo and the speaker was talking about the air quality of venice. They monitor the cruise ships as the pass through the Guidecca canal and have found that although they do contribute becuse they use better quality diesel they are not bad as the small motor boats & vaporetti.
