Time difference - minus 8 hours ex Sydney

Just a quick report today. We went back into town on the water shuttle, and continued our exploration of this wonderfully unique city.

The strategy of leaving a few things to today in the hope that the crowds would be smaller on a work day did not succeed. There were as many people around St Marks today as yesterday, if not more !!!

A small group of us meandered through the laneways of shops and stalls. It was quite hot, and not a tree in sight, although the laneways are well shaded.

We have actually been so fortunate with the weather since we left home, we have not had a single wet day at all, land or sea. It did rain a little as we were coming into Singapore may weeks ago now, but it had stopped by the time we got off the ship. We have had some windy days, but no wet ones, and certainly no cold ones, just day after day of warmth and sun. So hows that weather back in Australia then :)

We were back on ship about an hour before deadline, showered and freshened up, and then went to Pam and Randy's suite for the sailaway out of Venice, which was lovely.

A quiet afternoon, recharging the batteries for a full day in Dubrovnik tomorrow.
