Day 23 - Rialto Mercato, Basilico San Marco and the Isola di San Michele

5:30pm - Venice

Today is our last full day in Venice.  We started this morning by visiting the open air Rialto Mercato to buy fresh fish and produce for our last meal in Venice.  It's a trip in itself.  So many things to see (and smell)


After dropping the stuff off at the apartment, we went and visited the Basilica di San Marco.  The church has been there for over 1000 years and literally drips history.

After that, Laura and Katie went up the tower since they missed that with Charlie and me yesterday,


Then, Laura and Katie visited Isola di San Michele, the cemetery island.

Then they came back to the apartment and we had a big feast with the food we bought at the market that morning.

Tomorrow, we leave Venice early, head to Pisa in the morning to climb the famous tower and then on to an agriturismo in Cinque Terre.
