In Venice a street called Calle is pronounced Caye.
A street starting Ruma is a dead end or blind alley.
A street starting Rio used to be a canal but if you can walk down it, it got filled in after the railways arrived in Venice. This was done for those who arrived but did not own boats.
And did you know that the cocktail Bellini was invented here in Harry’s Bar. We did not visit Harry’s but we did enjoy a few Bellinis.
Bellisimo!!!

Today we strolled around Venice in the morning then enjoyed a five course luncheon while seated and watching the Venice Regata. Four bottles of red wine later we had completed lunch and enjoyed a fantastic view of the Regata.
We managed to stroll (or was that stagger) for a few more miles to “settle” lunch before we stopped at a few more watering holes to refresh before strolling more.
A wonderful and relaxing day.
