I wrote this back in 2022, and somehow I forgot to publish it. In a few days I’ll put up my review of the 2024 Biennale.
Sunset on Giudecca, one of Venice’s islands, is the same colour as my Aperol Spritz, the alcopop version of Campari.
I’m sitting waiting for the water ferry, the vaporetto, back to the main island.
I’m beginning to get the hang of the boat system. A pass for all transport in the area is 25 euros for 24 hours. You must wear a mask, and you must validate the pass before using it. I saw an inspector and they take pleasure in fining unwary tourists. It’s worth buying a pass as one way on a boat costs 9.50. A gondola or taxi costs 75 euros nowadays.
