Grand Canal

Vaparetto tour continued...

Rick Steves has an audio guide based on a trip he took on the Vaparetto. The commentary is timed to the actual Vaparetto time between stops so he can actually tell you what you are seeing which is something I can't do.





This is the Venice Casino which was interesting to us as it was  once the Palazzo Vendramin where Richard Wagner rented rooms to compose his opera Tristan und Isolde. He died here in 1883.





A street market selling fruits and vegetables






Hotel Al Ponte Antico which is close to Rialto Bridge and where Rick Steves stays in Venice.











Our journey had come to it's end and now we had to change into our Opera clothes and find somewhere to eat lunch before the show....
