I arrived dorsum inward Venice yesterday in addition to the mutual coldness conditions has (hopefully) ended. Today was a glorious leap twenty-four hr menstruum amongst sunshine in addition to a bluish sky. The tourist numbers are increasing , bolstered past times large schoolhouse parties. I saw ane large grouping inward Piazza San Marco enacting a curious circle ritual , mayhap a European equivalent of the Hokey Cokey (see photograph below). I walked to my electrical current favourite gelateria , Il Pinguino (along Riva degli Schiavoni - see it on my map of Venice) for a scoop of their especial chocolate-and-caramel biscuity flavour. Then an unplanned boat trip to the Lido , where quite a few people were enjoying the out-of-season beach: playing football game , walking , shell-collecting , reading. The shut beach huts are sheltered behind huge defences of heaped sand , in addition to farther downwardly the beach at that topographic point was roughly unpicturesque structure hold upward going on to larn the beach into sort for its summertime season. The Lido is a benign house inward the sunshine , amongst pocket-size children in addition to the really elderly existence taken out past times their carers to promenade inward the sunshine.
