I don't wake up until 8.30. Its sunny and hot today. I think I'll do some shopping. I'm looking at masks as they make interesting props for photos; you can get relatively cheap ones in the street markets. The clothes shops are quite intereting too with (presumably) the latest Italian fashions. Walking around looking in shops and dodging crowds is quite tiring in the sun; I stop for a coffee and write up yesterday's journal. It's difficult to decide on masks as they are not so cheap as to buy lots.

I stop for a pannini for lunch and get into a rut by having a glass of red wine and a bottle of fizzy water to accompany it.
I have walked between the railway station and the Rialto bridge and back again. Having bought a mask I head back to the hotel by boat. The internet connection has not improved but is usable sporadically.
