We were going to visit the Peggy Guggenheim collection but on arrival we found it closed on Tuesdays, rats. We had been talking about travelling to Lido which is where Venetians go to in summer so we decided to go there instead, even though it was cloudy and still cold. The ferry pulled in as we purchased our tickets and with cameras in hand we happy snaps photos on the way. Lido is a separate island just a few minutes from Venice. When we arrived we found wide streets, grass frontages to hotels and cars. We had got use to not worrying about cars but we didn't need to fear as the cold weather meant there were few people and cars about. We had a lovely pizza in a cafe down at the beach and then walked along the promenade. You can see from the photo below the beach huts scattered along the beach which seem to stretch the whole way. We assume that in summer people rent them to hold all their cloths etc but have no idea of he cost.
On the way back on the ferry we took more pictures as you get a different view from the water.
Tomorrow we will visit the Guggenheim collection and attend the 5pm church session at an Anglican Church near by. They have advertised a choir so we are keen to hear them sing.
