I guess you all get the picture of where we have spent two days of enjoyment walking the bridges, getting lost – but not really as everywhere you go the Piazza San Marco, Ferrovia, Piazzale Roma, Rialto bridge and Accademia are indicated on the walls of the streets -, having too expensive coffee, and taking photos of wonderfully framed views.

After a night of wild camping on a parking, I am becoming more at ease with it, we drove into Venice for the experience of ‘arrival’ over the long bridge going to the island, a splendid view in the morning. Once checked into a campsite where the bus opposite takes a 10 min drive, we were back in Venice to make our way to the Piazza San Marco, the inner heart of the city, going through the little alley ways, small streets and over the many bridges. We ultimately arrived and the necessary photos to prove were taken;).

There is an interesting musical instruments exhibition on in the city, beautiful pieces to be admired and listened to during concerts in the many churches (http://www.interpretiveneziani.com/en/museo-della-musica.php). With a background music of mainly string instruments, the craftmanship of the mother-of-pearl inlays and the wood sculpture were delightful to see.

The next day we were debating to stay an extra day. I am so glad we did as we had another gorgeous walk into town, this time to the Rialto bridge. We managed to get a few good shots from one of the Vaporetto platforms. Finding a bakery where the locals go and a bar where they go too, is not the easiest to find. When paying attention, we found the bakery, but for a cup of coffee, we ended up in a bar along the way where both locals and tourists hang out. Nice, too expensive Americano and cappuccino.
Saeed went back to base and I went to the Isola di San Giorgio.
