Ahhhh Venice
... have been enough to stop you breathing. I know, we were whispering to each other like the price was so obscene you would hate to hear people repeating it! Of course we ordered 2, changed our minds and cancelled the cheque!
Our next stop was on the island of Torcello. This is apparently the political seat of Venice. Looking at it, I think it hasn't been used for anything in a very long time. There is a weird little house structure which I unfortunately didn't take a photo of, ...

The Sweet Taste of Venice
... tides come in and the canals flood the streets so you actually can’t walk in them? The ever-clever Venetians put up a series of boardwalks to keep your feet dry and then put out mini-connecting boardwalks or have you walk along chairs to get you into their little restaurants. Not a bad idea.
