Beautiful Venice

We got into Venice around 3pm. It was quite warm and not wasting any time, we went to the Piazza di Santa Croce and saw the impressive basilica there.

After going there, we went to a leather shop, Peruzzi, where we were given a leather demonstration. This was the real stuff and I was able to get myself a nice wallet. Browsing through the markets out the back, Winnie bought herself a nice scarf.

We met a local tour guide at the Piazza della Signoria. By then the sun had gone down and it was freezing.

On the local tour, we saw various landmarks, such as the Ponte Vieccho and the various statues. There is the statue of David which Michelangelo carved. Only it's a copy. The original is in a museum but there is a replica where David use to be.

Dinner for once was a bit disappointing. The salad was raw and had no flavour. The pork was tough and dry. Oh well, can't win everyday I supposed.

Another early start so another early night for me.

Till tomorrow.
