Heard a mosquito in the night so the blue lamp is plugged in and possibly working, though too late for Peter who has some itchy bites. We are wearing clean shirts, the light is dim in the room so PJ can’t tell the colour of his trousers. We stopped in St Mark's Square before catching the boat. If you intend to use the Waterbuses a return ticket from the airport is cheaper than two singles and a go anywhere day ticket costs €20, a two day one €30 and a three day one €40. |

Caught a Waterbus to Murano (No. 7 the direct route) and walked round the town taking in the Museum of Glass which contained some very beautiful pieces very well presented. The lighting was particularly good especially on the delicate pieces. We had a toasted sandwich / brown bun with seeds on the top with cheese and raw bacon. All but the bacon was fine. |

We saw our first cat, who was trying to inveigle his way into a house; probably not his own as several people rejected him. |

We had an ice cream and a coffee, before catching the waterbus back to Zaccaria. |

We found details of Chinese restaurants on the internet and visited the nearest one. It did not have the same range as a UK one, but a nice change from Venetian food. I am still dreaming about vegetables. |
