Breakfast and Frari Church

The hotel provided a buffet breakfast for it's guests. It's a small hotel of 26 rooms therefore the buffet is small by many American hotel standards but what they have-cold meats, cheeses, breads, cereals, scrambled eggs, fruit and most importantly coffee, of a quality not found in the USA no matter how many Starbucks they build, is enough to get you moving on another day of sightseeing.

The room itself was small and cosy and we heard French and British voices at neighboring tables.

Frari church is notable for being the tomb of Titian the great artist and is to home to some of his works. It is forbidden however to take photos and videos inside the church-athough some did with indiscrete foot-long Nikon lenses. Not I, as I respect the rules.

Here are some photos from our short excursion- one stop via Vaparetto to the other side of the Grand Canal, then a pleasant 10 minute easy stroll through narrow alleys where people live.

Yet another canal

The Frari was well worth the visit and I wish I had photos to show you the interior. Maybe you have to see it for yourself?

We walked back to the Grand Canal to catch a Vaparetto and Carol had the urge to sail all the way up the canal to Piazzale Roma where our adventure began just the day before. Our pass allowed us unlimited rides so there and back again seemed like a good idea.

We strolled along a quiet canal to the Vaparetto stop...

Just another beautiful quiet street in Venice.

Here's the video of our morning so far....
