Tuesday I was out and about again, this time to Chioggia at the the south western extreme of the Venetian Empire. To get there it is a vaporetto, bus, bus goes on a ferry then another vaporetto. Chioggia is a fishing port famous for having the oldest clock tower in the world. (Forgot to photograph it)! There is a fish market and not much else. Even the bars closed at lunchtime and the restaurants all served fish so I made the return journey home.
The vongole nets at Pellestrina
Pellestrina, the last village on the Lido de Venezia. Once the vaporettos were built here.
The Venetian Lion is still to be found here. Above on a private house & below on the gate into town.
The fish market and filleted sardines.

In the early evening I went to a guitar recital. The young man was wonderful but there were only seven us plus his mum & dad in the audience. Such a shame.
