Day Duo Thursday 12th June
Rising late we missed the coach load of American 18-30 year olds and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast of six cups of tea (they were tiny) and a piece of toast. Feeling like ‘olds hands’ we set off for the station clutching our train tickets purchased from the hotel and arrived in plenty of time to ‘activate’ them using the machine on the platform. Half an hour later we were marvelling at our first sight of Venice looking as it always does – as though straight out of the holiday brochure. Pit stop at the station toilets (they’re very few and far between in Venice), photos of the undercarriages of trains (I try to be patient) and off on the No 82 water bus to Sans Marco. Strangely, this year we seemed to go the wrong way round and were treated to the sights of industrial area of Venice, but we did see the huge cruise liners (which did look just like the images in the Sunday Telegraph magazine) waiting to transport their expensive cargo on to the next resort.
