Even although I had to wear the same clothes as I travelled in yesterday, I ventured out for a wander around Venice and I loved it. 

The narrow lanes, the old buildings, the architecture, the canals and the atmosphere and although I’ve been told that it’s smelly, I never noticed. But of course I had my own odour issues to contend with. 

Today was cold and after a few hours I had to return to the hotel to get my fleece jacket and gloves. I can’t believe it’s colder here than in Glasgow but at least it’s dry. 

I went into one of the churches today but I decided to spend the day wandering aimlessly around this amazing  city and tomorrow I will venture into a few more. 

And I do like their water taxis.
