We went for a walk to see the cathedral Campo della Salute. On the way we stopped for lunch at a cafe with a dining area that had a a panoramic view across Canale della Giudecca to the island of Giudecca and Isola di Saint Georgio Maggiore.

The waiter brought a tray displaying the daily selection of fish. He explained how each could be prepared or stated that we could make a personal request for a style of preparation.
The daily catch.
We started with oysters. Ohhh!…were they good.
They could be the best that I have ever had.
For the main course, Debra had saffron pasta with blue lobster.
I had Venus rice with shrimp and mussels. A couple of glasses of
soave wine went well with the fish.
After a leisurely lunch we continued our walk to the original destination of Campo della Salute. The walk took us around the tip of the island, Punta della Doggana. This point seemed to be a gathering spot for people to sit and sun themselves. It is at the convergence of the Grand Canal and the Canale della Giudecca.
