We arrived just before the causeway to Venice and left the car in a secure car park – 5 € per day. A few minutes walk found us at a small speedboat dock where we arranged for a ride to Venice.
A short ride later, we arrived on the island of Venice. The captain arranged to pick us up at the same spot 3 days later around 1:00 pm. We walked (struggled with our luggage) to the train station, bought our 72 hour pass on the vaporetti and proceeded to our hotel, Albergo Guerrato, near the Rialto bridge.
Our last visit to Venice was with 2 girlfriends and we stayed at Piccolo Guerrato, their 3 story apartment, but our breakfast was at the Albergo.
We couldn’t wait to get to our favorite cicchetti place near Campo Santa Marina. The sign said it opened at 17:30 but when we tried to go in, they said it opened at 6 pm. Back at 6, it was filling up fast and we grabbed the last table.
Let the sampling begin! Cicchetti are small tastes of local appetizers.
Our last stop was Trattoria Alla Madonna, which was very near our hotel, where Rob had fried scampi and I had risotto del mare and an insalata mista.
