the arsenalle and islands

Woke up at 8 this morning. Got up and had breakfast same as yesterday. Gave pop a ring this morning I had a short chat to him. Didn't leave home till 10:15 which I think disappointed Nick a little. From home went to the Venice arsenalle which happened to be open to the public for this weekend. It was amazing we saw a huge range I ships in the museum including the funeral barge for the workers, an old WW2 boat and a big Venice royal barge. From here we went into the actual arsenalle and saw the huge amount of land area was involved in building ships. We saw a big wooden open wet? Dock, a submarine and all the old factory halls that they would have made ships in. It was awesome. 

Left the arsenalle at about 12 with bini and I were very very hungry. Started walking to Venice but luckily nick made us stop just in the nick of time (ha get it) and have some food from a kebab shop. Kebab was fantastic bit only because we were super hungry. 

Bought a 24 hour ticket for the Venice ferries and a headed off to burano. As we were landing at burano in the  ferry I spotted a canal that was completely empty so as all the other tourists headed right we headed left and had a canal all to our selves. It was amazing and we got some great pictures. 

Next stop torcello. Here we went to the toilet and then found attilas throne after some looking. We had walked passed it on the way to the toilet but I didn't recognise it as when I last saw it 13 years ago I remember it as much bigger. 

Anyway from here we went to the main land had a small amount if crackers and then headed back to Venice to meet Gill and go out to dinner. Didn't really have a proper lunch today only had a 4 bananas, some cracker and some old ginger nuts since breakfast. 

We went out to a really nice fish restaurant for dinner. We got a huge platter with 8 types of vegetables and 10 types of fish. My favourites were the scallops which we the best I've ever had and the monk that we boat after and shared. A wondeful day. Went home showed and slept.
