Wandering in Venice - 2

One of the first sights that we saw was the Rialto market and from there we ended up at a bridge with an unusual name. The bridge of tits is so called because prostitutes used to line up on the bridge baring their breasts. It was apparently a ploy to convert gay residents.

We continued the walk, stopping for dinner ciccetti and a beer in a large square. Onwards we went passing churches, schools and residential areas. The trail ended at the canal where we took a water shuttle across to the other side.

From here we make a route to take in the Gran Teatro la Fenice, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo and the Libreria Acqua Alta, stopping every so often for refreshments.

Back to St Mark's Square and then the church of San Zaccaria with the flooded crypt.

We walked the mile or so back from here to the Jewish ghetto where our walking tour ended!
