The Rialto bridge.10:58:50
Jeremy shopping at the Rialto market.
10:59:26
11:04:08
The hands seen across the Grand Canal.11:52:40
A particularly nice example of a water door, I thought.12:21:52
A cheap and cheerful al fresco lunch bought from a takeaway pasta place.
12:21:58
12:27:49
Portrait of Erika in the little square where we had lunch.12:27:52
...and one of Chie.12:28:56
12:31:14
Only after we'd mostly finished eating, having sat on the steps, did we notice there was a bench of sorts just a few metres away.12:31:48
Chie having a moment's peace and quiet.12:31:59
12:33:39
Erika still going on her pasta.
12:33:58
13:32:59
In the Giardini part of the Biennale now.13:59:03
One of the first pavilions we went into, I forget which country.14:09:25
This was Japan if it wasn't obvious - and superbly they had wooden models of structures from Miyajima - couldn't have been more appropriate for me and Chie!
14:09:32
14:09:39
14:10:40
There was this funny little hole in the middle where people could poke their head through.14:12:34
14:13:03
Jeremy on show in the Japan pavilion.14:13:06
14:13:10

14:28:33

I think this was my favourite bit.14:30:24
14:33:04
14:51:45
Alice having a lolly.14:53:25
This little cafe area made a very nice spot for a break.14:53:29
Lovely sea views through the trees here.14:56:08
I took this to send back to my friends at work in London.

I forget which country this was.15:39:49
Erika liked this one.15:55:37
15:58:48
Jeremy was unimpressed by this one.16:00:50
Lots of things to interact with in this pavilion which Erika and Alice liked.16:00:53
16:01:33
16:01:40
16:02:34
It's almost as though Alice is an exhibit.16:02:41
16:02:55
16:03:38
The girls liked the caravan the best I think.16:03:42
16:03:49
16:04:46

Erika having a post art play on the playground.16:39:29
16:43:36
Me, Erika and Chie down by the water waiting for the vaporetto.16:43:45
Odd portrait mode failure where Erika has ended up blurred out!
16:45:00
A lovely afternoon.16:45:17
Chie and Erika by the water - portrait mode working much better here!16:45:37
17:21:43
We took a vaporetto round the eastern edge of Venice which conveniently deposited us back at Fondamente Nove, near where our apartment is.
17:45:02

Me and Leon out for an evening wander.

A couple of attempts to get a nice portrait of Leon on the Rialto bridge.20:40:37

The view from the bridge.20:42:59
20:54:04
Me and Leon in Cantina do Spade, drinking a particularly nice Valpolicalla Ripasso.21:46:57
I think we popped in here as well.22:39:31
Regrettably we also popped in Bacaro Jazz, which seemed to be a kind of dive bar almost patronised by American tourists.01:42:48
Leon back at the apartment falling asleep on the sofa.

Erika sleeping like an angel bless her.
