Day 24 - Venice

Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Palazzo Grassi Museum (contemporary art museums - we have had enough renaissance for a while).  Walking, walking, walking.   

Vaporetto’s (venice water buses) are fantastic when they are empty but terrible when they are full.  The conductors are fantastic about berating passengers who don’t line up in the entry line behind the barriers as they block the exit area.  A conductor this morning hearded a group of five Americans back behind the chain (the chain tightly binding them in) and then took off without letting anyone on!  Fantastic.  Imagine the outcry in Australia?
