24a Venice Sail in .. You never let us down.

We were supposed to have a 7am sail into Venice but alas "somebody" decided
that we needed to sail in at midday. That threw a spanner in our plans as
we had 11am train tickets booked to get us to Verona for our overnight
jaunt. It was a win / lose situation. we lost time in port and Princess won
in less port charges and the $25 vaporetto cost didn't come down in price
for only half a day.
To avoid the $25 a day cost the best way to head into Venice is to walk out
the port gates and hop on the People Mover, a monorail that moves people
from the major carpark and port area to Piazzale Roma Here you have the
train, bus and vaporetto stations all in close proximity. With a trusty map
and a sense of adventure you can weave your way through the laneways until
you get to the Rialto Bridge and St Mark's square.
