VENICE....FINDING OUR WAY

Tomorrow the 16th, we are doing another walking tour.The goal today was to find the exact spot the tour will start from. So, set all info in heremaps...estimated walking time was 35 min from accommodation..1hr 30 min we arrive, yes it was busy, people everywhere and this isn't the high season... so is it the map system or are we just stupid. Tomorrow will tell as we try find the spot again at 9am.
Apart from that the day was interesting but after 7hours of walking bat 1hr for lunch stop we got back to the apartment pretty tired..Imanaged a 1.5 nap and Sandie conned me into giving her feet a massage.
My only other gripe is Air B&B , yes its an airb+b stay, Why did I do it, I thought I had learnt my lesson on the last trip.
Here is the key, there is the bed, good bye...but how do you operate the washing machine /dryer combo, how do you get the heater to stay on more than 30min, where is the mini mart etc
And to think I have booked atleast 2 more of these.
On a positive VENICE is truly  rich in history,,and to walk the historic narrow streets with endless little bridges is fascinating. Each turn seems to open up to a new square, a new church and palace of the rich and famous Venetians.
St Marco Squ is a great site, so to the famous Rialto bridge.
There are masses of people always on the move
We are looking forward to seeing more in the few days ahead.
Stay alert for the next exciting post!
