Venice day 2

Another early start to head over to St Mark’s Square, but early enough…..the queues were horrendous so we did the tour of the Palazzo Ducale instead. This is the ornate and many roomed seat of the doge and home to Venice’s various offices of state for almost a thousand years. We moved through one lavishly deigned room to another surrounded by the works of Veronese, Tintoretto and other Venetian masters…magnificent!!!!!
Following the water we walked to the Giardini Pubblici, one of the sites for the Venice Biennale. This was very disappointing…..no art as we know it, but many light and video presentations, with wind, sound strange effects etc…..not our cup of tea.
Another great dinner in a campo near the hotel…..spaghetti with mussels and vongole!!!!
