To get there we first had to go into the hotel
and introduce ourselves-this I did in practiced Italian and it got big smiles from the desk clerk. He of course spoke excellent English so I soon dropped the Italian. I confirmed that he had booked a table at a canal-side restaurant for us this evening and he had. In our year of research I had found a touristy restaurant that screamed VENICE in bright red letters.
The Bellman brought our luggage up to our room
The TV that never got turned on...
Something lacking in U.S. Hotels and homes-a bidet.
Even the bathroom had a window facing the Grand Canal.
The view from our balcony
As is our custom when we check-in to our room, I immediately leave and go for a walk while Carol unpacks and puts all her luggage away.
Next up...my first walk in Venice
