Up at 5am this morning to get on the road to Heathrow. The plane to Venice was nearly 2 hours late taking off. Landed about 4pm and took a water taxi to the hotel. Amazing to be sailing along the Grand Canal in a water taxi when just days ago I was at the Wallace Collection looking at Canaletto's paintings of it.
And there was a complimentary bottle of prosecco waiting for us. After drinking that and unpacking, we headed out to find a nice restaurant for an evening meal. The concierge recommended a place called La Scala that was nearby. We threaded our way along the side of a canal and down a tiny little passage (so Venetian!) to get there. Had the most amazing meal - the waiter fileted our fish at the table. Not only that but he fileted it with a spoon! Amazing start to our time in Venice.
