| Tre Ponti, a famous bridge much beloved of painters. | The quay at St. Marks, taken from the bar we thought was the famous Harry's Bar, but which was, in fact, just some overpriced tourist bar. But the view was lovely. | Cannereggio canal, Venice's second largest, which we spent a happy day walking up and down and exploring. |
