Here is the Hotel des Bains, out of season.
A soothing Sunday morning stroll along the deserted Lido waterfront from the Hotel des Bains to Hotel Excelsior provided Phespirit with the most soul-subduing moment of his time on the lagoon.
The cluster of small islands that is Murano is the centre of Venetian glassmaking.
This is a mediæval canalside portico on it.
The church of Santa Fosca, dating back to 639AD, is the oldest building in Venice.
A marble seat in the grounds is claimed to have been the throne of Attila the Hun.
So Phespirit sat on it.
