Friday 18 August Venice

Rained most of the day, we went out for a wander around the local shops and ate lunch at Rialto Novo in a little side street. An American basketball team arrived part way through our meal, I’ve never seen so many tall men in one place before! Raining again so we headed back to the hotel to pack as we leave tomorrow. We ate in the hotel in the evening as we didn’t fancy another soaking, sat watching the gondoliers go by and drinking wine in the conservatory restaurant.
