Another beautiful day in Venice!
Stephen and I brought back coffee and pastries for breakfast the we all headed out in search of some shops Karen and Stephen wanted to see.
Later we split up and Karen and I went for lunch by the San Marco waterfront.
We then took a vaporetto back to our stop and returned home.
Karen's leg had been really bothering her do she needed to rest it.
I went out on my own and took another vaporetto across the Grand Canal to explore the other side.
I saw the Church of Santa Maria Della Salute the walked aways to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection which calls itself
" the most important Italian collection of modern art".
It is housed in an old building she took over and stocked with art she collected including Picasso's, Jackson Pollacks, Salvador Dali's and many more.
Stephen was home when I got back so we all had a couple of glasses of wine and some bread and cheese before heading to a store Karen had seen that had some Venetian ballet type shoes she wanted.
Then we stopped at our favorite Spritz bar for a couple of Spritz's before dinner.
We went to a little place we had come across by accident, very quiet, in a little courtyard down an obscure calle.
Very good fixed price 3 course meal for our last night in Venice.
Tomorrow we drive to our Agrotourism farm near Parma for one night.
