Early start to catch the train to Venice from Rome. We were in first class - thanks Jane- train was very comfortable however were fed chips for breakfast. Arrived Venice around lunchtime, caught the ferry to our hotel (Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo) at San Stae. Dropped our bags and went to lunch nearby at Trattoria Taverna, ordered a coca cola but ended up with a bottle of masare valdobbiadene Le colture and a plate of risotto for 2. Food was as good a risotto I have had and the wine was very light and sweat, went down very well. We then went to the laundromat to do a much needed wash, ran into some nice Americans and chatted to them for about an hour while we washed and dried. Headed home got changed and went out for dinner at Rialto. Went on a gondola ride prior which was very romantic. Dinner was ok, a little bit plain. We had some gelato and headed home.

Venezialines.com Wow! Nice long day you have spent there. I am eager to experience the gondola ride in Venice next week. And also to savor Italian foods the whole week of our vacation.
