To wrap up, the highlights of the Venetian weekend …...
To Die For
The light in late summer. Slightly overcast, never too hot to walk or glide in an open air water vehicle
Dorsoduro – Funky, airy and very chic
San Marco piazza – simply stunning
Cioccolato Pepperincino. Chocolate goodness with a kick in the end
Venetian masks. Evocative of more dramatic times
Overrated
Murano glass – its very difficult to find something that is authentic yet with a modern take at the normal tourist haunts (for mandatory souvenirs try Frederica Glass near the station). A must see on Murano island is the church of Santa Maria e Donato, it has a beautiful aspect and some stunning sculpture both inside and outside.
Gondola rides – a bit cheesy and very expensive.
Cisalpino – definitely dated, needs the swiss touch. Also, very likely to not be on time.
I move on to planning the next great escape. Goodbye Venezia. Au Revoir.

Dearest T,
On popular request, would you kindly request your husband P to write on the same city whenever he finds time from his BB...which might be never...but as you would know...eternal optimism is the way to live,
Love
