First few hours in Venezia.

After settling into our apartment, we set on foot to meet the Illawarra dragon boat people for drinks and dinner. We had to meet them at a pub near the Rialto Bridge. Clutching our map, we got there in about 15 minutes (a bit longer than it should take because of the million people).
After drinks the 22 of us walked to a restaurant. Afterwards one of the ladies walked Rob and me back to the Rialto Bridge and we tried to find our way home. Well we did eventually. We both find all these little streets daunting.
On our way, we followed our ears to beautiful music. A quartet were practising for a concert in a building that had fantastic acoustics. A soprano, cello, harpsichord and piccolo trumpet. We only remember the trumpet player was Marc Zwingelberg.
