The boat back

From San Marco we decided, to get back in time for the train, we had to take a boat, which wasn't a difficult decision. The queues were very long but by chance we found ourselves the last to get on the boat so stayed behind and then found ourselves first in the queue for the next boat and so grabbed the two front seats and got an unobscured view of Venice all the way back to the station. The seats also provided a desperately needed rest. We put up with the sun to get some stunning photos. The train back to Castelfranco was cool, spacious and comfortable, but, unfortunately, not the train we had purchased a ticket for and so we found ourselves with a large excess to pay the ticket inspector who was happy to lure us on in the first place without warning us there were cheaper trains elsewhere. It was a slightly bitter end to the day but it would take more than this to ruin the splendour of Venice.
