Random palazzo
End of our narrowing calle (street ) - starts about 6 foot and narrows to 3 feet wide other end

much to our surprise after long walk, we had entered the campo (centre above) on the bridge top left and exited bottom centre, within 5 minutes back at the house for siesta as hot now!
Found Dylan playing ukelele, oh dear, didn't know he had brought that with him. Shades of George Formby.
In the afternoon we decided to get some use out of our vaporetto passes:
