Wednesday in Venice
Wednesday 25th October 2017
I had planned to venture out into the Venetian Lagoon today, hoping to visit Torcello. Unfortunately I only got as far as Burano before I got a message from Jeremy that Alice was quite sick, so I headed back to the main island to give him a hand taking her to the hospital. Met up with Leon, Chie and the girls again later in the afternoon for a short bacaro crawl and a trip on the traghetto.

...and Aiko and Mei also wanted a go again.

12:21:37
Here we are at Burano. I'd got the message from Jeremy that just as we arrived, so I just had a quick look around before getting the first vaporetto back again.

14:53:37
At the hospital now with Jeremy and Alice.

She was right as rain again by the next morning!

The cafe in the hospital was really nice.

A little squero (boatyard) near the hospital.

Bacarando in Corte dell'Orso, taken for later reference.

...and in fact after meeting up with Chie, Leon and the girls we went there for a late afternoon / early evening drink and a snack.

17:09:13
Having a wander round before dinner - we decided just to stay out rather than going back to the apartment.

17:21:42
Nice light on those palazzi across the water.

17:28:53
We decided to have a go on a traghetto - the gondola ferry - just for fun.

At the other side of the traghetto.

17:54:15
We actually then walked back round and back over the grand canal. I think this is from the Rialto Bridge.

18:21:20
Dinner at Cantina do Spade, where Leon and I had been for a late drink the night before, and Leon thought it would be good for the girls as there were lots of small things they could nibble on.

18:21:26

18:53:01
This did seem to work out quite well.

Back at the apartment later on, a Negroni I think.
