... of day-trippers had left for the day. We went to the Rialto Bridge and had some dinner at a restaurant overlooking the Grand Canal. I had my first Bellini in Venice. It's a cocktail that actually originated in Venice and is made from sparkling champagne and peach puree'. Apparently it is one of Italian's favourite cocktails.
