After establishing a 'base camp' at St Mark's square we split up into smaller groups to explore. Some did the touristy bit and queued for the bell tower (now rebuilt !) and the cathedral. Others ventured deeper into the city to escape the crowds and search for some reasonably priced food. Some also got lost in the labyrinth of narrow streets, dead ends and bridges....
Once all were safely back in the square, purchases were compared, bargains driven with red rose sellers and caricatures displayed.
We retraced our route by boat and then by coach, back to the hotel for dinner and a party !
Tomorrow we play our final concert in a church in the mountains.

Hi Gideon
Picking up your blog each evening -thanks for all your efforts. We hope Katherine is still with you - we haven't seen her since the first rehearsal in the hotel....!!!!!!!!!
Hope the final concert goes ok. Best wishes to all,
Peter
