Chioggia to Venezia

A leisurely start today with free time until 1030. We had breakfast and went for a short walk before beginning our 25 km ride along the islands of Pellestrina and Lido. Between these islands we had a short ferry ride. The day was hot and very humid.
We boarded Ave Maria for a quick shower before visiting the island of Murano and the San Marco Glass Factory.
Aperitif was served on the top deck as we sailed past the southern shore of Venetzia and moored on the island of Giudecca. What an amazing site to finally see Venice!
Once moored, we went with Francesco & Fabrizio on a short walk of Giudecca and saw Venice from the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel.
Another fabulous 3 course meal was served before our final briefing by our excellent Guides.
Tomorrow we are joining our Guides for a 4 hour tour of Venice. The afternoon is free to do what we like before we pack and prepare to leave our temporary home on the lovely Ave Maria.Les mer
