Posted on July 21, 2017June 24, 2019by Roy

Today was our last full day in Venice. And we had nothing planned. We decided to simply wander the streets of San Polo district.  We crossed the Grand Canal using the Traghetto.    Scenes from the walk  We spent the afternoon just sitting at our local people-watching and having a final soaking of Venezia.  Royeishonline.co.za/travel
