After a leisurely breakfast we walked a mere 200 metres from our apartment to Piazza San Marco...St Mark's Square...where we had a booking for a guided tour through the Torre dell'Orologio. Our guide was a wonderfully funny Venetian who spoke at "a million miles per hour". Following our tour we walked to the other end of the square to visit the Museo Correr which houses a collection of Venetian artworks & antiquities dating back to the 13th century.
Scala Contarini del Bovolo which is a rather amazing spiral staircase...and virtual geocache. After tat we made our way back to teh square for a our pre-booked visit to the Basilica di San Marco...Saint Mark's Basilica...which turned out to be no where near as busy as we had expected.
