Exploring Venice More...

We had been told by our concierge that the best ice cream in the city was in a small cafe on the south side of the island and that it was lovely sitting down and watching the boats sail up the Grand Canal whilst tasting these ice cream delights.


So we set off to find this emporium - which was not as easy it looks on the map....


To be fair the ice cream was good - but not as good as we had in Saint Paul de Vence in France, ironic really as that was an Italian ice cream maker in France!


But this circuitous route allowed us to see an area of Venice we had yet to discover and as the sun started to set, the colours of the sky against to old buildings was very picturesque as hopefully you will agree here.

As the lights came on in the city it was a good opportunity to take some of the famous sites lit up. So here are some of these pictures.

This is St. Marks at night time....

And this is the Rialto Bridge lit up at night....
