Rock of Love....

On the way back from the Arsenale we headed off on a wild goose chase to find a rock apparently shaped like a heart...  Yeah using our badly marked hotel map, navigating streets with no names (apparently even the local Venetians claim that some of them still remain unnamed...), we somehow managed to find a little stone hidden inside a doorway vaguely shaped like a heart.

The story goes that the stone brings luck to lovers & attests to the love once felt between an ancient sailor & a siren of the sea....  We had a quick snog underneath and made a quick exit for the hotel.  Good thing too as the heavens opened once again & down came the rain...

For those of you in search of the stone you can find it under the doorway named "Sotoportego Dei Preti" - Errrr yeah, good luck!
