Considering the Bristol Hotel Venice in Venice?

Riva degli Schiavoni by Sjalen
OK, I am definately not the only tourist to have discovered this "promenade" along the seafront with its souvenir stalls but it is nevertheless one of my favourites in Venice. I simply love to stroll along the Lagoon and look at people and boats and sit down somewhere nice with a Veneto wine when I need to rest my feet. I know I pay much more than I would back in Cannaregio or somewhere but it is mesmerising to sit here and watch cruiseliners, street performers being harassed by the police and all other things there is to see. Moreover, if you walk along Riva, you have great sweeping views back across to the Salute Church and San Marco.
