Today I visited the Torre del Orologio, the clock tower in St Mark's Square.
What a wonderful view from the top of the Piazza, San Giorgio & the city itself. The amazing thing is that you can see no canals, it looks like any other city & could have roads.
The Magi used to go around every hour, but due to their age they were disintigrating. Now theu go around twice a year - Epiphany & Ascension Day. I didn't know about the first & it was my first full day here & I was so busy getting my vaporetto pass & internet access i missed them completlt. I shall have to come again.
