Grand Canal Venice
I enjoyed a wonderful week with the choir in Italy, performing as part of the Merchatello festival. Where we sang in a number of outstanding venues.
After this we visited Venice, what a scene on arriving at the station with the Grand Canal presented in front of us! After an adventure trying to find the hotel on Calle del forno (the wrong one had been listed online and it seemed that there were about five of these streets with the same name within a close distance of one another, yes ours was the last we visited, GPS can be a wonderful thing!
Enjoyed concert of the Interpreti Veneziani at Chiesa di San Vidal, stunning performances by all!
Wandering looking at the various shops, Venetian masquerade masks, antique prints, designer goods.
We took a second to help a boatman who was struggling to moor and secure his boat next to the Rialto Bridge with the rapid water taxis zooming around and creating excessive wash.
Pics and more to follow.
