Walked around the Arsenale area taking pictures and looked for the public loos which are particularly well hidden.   At a cost of €1.50, they discourage use, if they were located more obviously, they would have more customers and make more money and could put down the cost to individuals.

We tried ice creams which were too sweet and a roll with uncooked bacon, mozzarella and lettuce.   The roll was brown so that was better.   My cold is stopping me from enjoying the food, though that does not entirely excuse the food...   We had a short stop at the hotel then went out over the Rialto Bridge;  through the market where some seagulls were scrapping over discarded bits of fish.   We had coffee €4 each!!!

We relaxed in the Giardino Papadopoli near the Bus Station.   It was restorative to see some mature trees in new leaf.
