So Mrs Fogg saw a cookery programme thingy on the BBC where Rick Stein enthused about an Italian family restaurant in Venice, that doesn’t do pizza, doesn’t do lasagne or tourist menus. Challenge then to find this shrine to apparent good Italian cooking.

After walking and map reading we found it, only to be be greeted by a less than helpful member of staff “not open for another hour and fully booked” what about tomorrow? ” fully booked”, are we really or just not wanting to deal with tourists?

Off then to find food and a fun place where the waitress was fun and they even played Christmas music.

Some alcohol later we staggered out and off to bed.

And a walk back in the rain
