Before leaving Florence, we took a walk to a deserted Ponte Vecchio picking up breakfast on the way back. A short walk to Firenze Santa Maria Novella station, and another train journey to Venezia San Lucia. On arrival we found the water bus stop needed to transport us to near our accommodation, Suite735. The hotel was extraordinary – the rooms were luxurious, just 4 or 5 in total, with a view over a very quiet canal.
A walk into the busier parts of Venice, we first crossed the famous Accademia Bridge before heading to St. Mark’s Basilica to see the interior and Pala d’Oro, then the Rialto Bridge. Dinner was at Rosso Pomodoro before heading back to the hotel.
