“A long table is set with silver cutlery and crystal glasses. Lunch is a long, lazy affair, and it is only when guests are dipping typical Venetian dessert biscuits in a glass of sweet Vin Santo, that the captain pulls up the anchor and begins the slow journey back to Venice, arriving at San Marco as the sun sets over the water.”
