15,000 steps in Venice

 The view from my window this morning

and here is the view from my breakfast table!

This is remarkable for two reasons, a) this is the only hotel that can boast such a view and 
b) I was at breakfast this morning. All who know me will be shocked by this event. Breakfast was delicious btw, I think  I might try to attend more of these events.

Walking was on our agenda today, my apple watch tells me my stats were 15,293 steps that's just over 10 km, colour me impressed. Sights seen: 

San Marco 


Bridge of Sighs

wonderful meandering canals and boat traffic



views from the Grand Canal upon which we journeyed via the Vaperetto



 more canals and pretty boats

 and Biblioteca Nazionale which, it turns out is not actually a library but an exhibit in the much larger Museo Correr which was interesting to see AND ticked the library box.


food consumed: apart from a full breakfast we had pizza (as you do when in Italy) which was massive and calzone, cannoli (again obligatory isn't it? we're only doing the needful), a delicious marshmallow with the rather alarming name of morbidoso (there's a hint in that name which i am choosing to ignore) 



and a sandwich (it was all we could manage at dinnertime).

  1. I keep getting notification on my watch.

    "Wendy has set a new move record." Yeah I bet she has.

    "Wendy has completed an outdoor workout." Whatever, I don't even care.

    "Wendy has done all the things because she's on an adventure and you have to go to work, so there." Well thanks so much apple watch.
