This was a travel day, and really that is all we did. We checked out of the Sumner, took a taxi to the Gatwick express train and go to the airport about 10:30 for a 1pm flight. Security was a little tighter than we have seen, but still not a real problem. The taxis are great, with lots of room for bags and the train was very smooth. We arrived in Venice about 4:30 and then lugged our bags a long ways to the water bus, which took over an hour to get to San Marco Square. We then dragged our bags across bridges and down narrow streets (ie some of them only one person could walk at a time between the buildings) and to our hotel. We found it fairly easily. The room is great, fairly large and only up two flights of stairs. We went out for supper and then decided to walk to the square...but where was it? It is like a maze and for some reason all of the the names are in Italian. We found it and wandered around watching the people and the duelling orchestras - one plays for a while, and then across the piazza, another one plays. Great fun. And then to bed.
