Today we decided to do the culture thing with the main event, a visit to the Doges Palace (photos 1,2 & 3).....amazing - some of the biggest and most ornate rooms we have ever seen. The tour included a visit to the old prison, accessed by walking across the Bridge of Sighs (photo 4) - so have done the inside and outside of that one!) We also visited the Manet exhibition that was on at the Palace (not necessarily Ingrid's cup of tea but she's glad she did it)
After lunch in a square, we visited St Michele, (photo 5) a whole island that is a cemetery, strange but it had to be done! Also went to S. Giorgio island to visit the Cathedral (photo 6 & 7)- again, amazing that a city can have SO many churches and Cathedrals.
Went the long way back round the islands on the water bus (sneaky photo of one stop just for Grandad, no. 8) to our hotel, packing and a last dinner tonight before home tomorrow.
