Arrived

It was quite along day on Tuesday, the taxi picked me up at 11am to take me to Manchester airport.

Easy through and flight on time, same at Heathrow, but both terminals were very hot.

Here is a photo of Venice as we came into land.

I put an abbonamenta, one month,  onto to public transport ticket even though there was only eight days left it's easier to 

I took a land taxi to Piazza le Roma, lovely young man who chatted all the way & even offered to help me to the vaporetto stop, but I said I could manage.

My card wouldn't work.  Eventually a worker for ACTV told me the abbonamenta was for March!.  Had to go back to the ticket office, up a ramp.......

Bought individual tickets.

Still wouldn't work.  Back up again......... and again until I managed to press the right buttons.

But there was Sara at Palanca with my argument keys.  How wonderful to be welcomed.

Sleep.
