Cercando nel Castello

The man at the hotel (Walter?) recommended I go to Castello tonight. I was a long walk from the hotel - in Venice terms, especially with my propensity to get lost! I had to put known landmarks in my phone since most of the places did not come up in maps. It took many wrong turns, but I found them!

Bar Al Canton -- Spritz con Luxardo Bitter Bianco 3.50€
Alla Scuola-- zucchini with tuna, stuffed cuttlefish, polenta topped with shrimp 15€
Barcaro Risorto-- crostini with cod, limoncello spritz 10€
Bacaro Magna Bevi Tasi-- "Spicy meat" crostini, Hugo Spritz 9.50€
Harry's Bar-- Peach Spritz 22€!!!

Okay the last one was a bellini...

So, I had my one over-priced drink at Harry's Bar. It was a small place, with a bar that sat 8 or so people. The waiters were all in white jackets with black bow ties. Very snooty. At the bar I met a couple from England, who I closed the place down with. Alison and John were from SW England, but she has family in Atlanta. We talked politics, travel, and relationships. There was a lot of hugging.

I arrived home around 11:30pm and fell into bed.Read more
