Most of the tables and chairs at the Little Venice bars were sopping wet as the pounding surf repeatedly drenched almost the entire outdoor area, except for one small section set far back from the water at the front of Semeli Bar. All day long, the narrow stone footpath leading past Caprice Bar was a treacherous place to walk. Not only was the stone surface slick with seawater, but passersby had to make sure they timed the big waves and crossed the path before the next swell crashed ashore. I made it across without getting sprayed, but two people ahead of me got soaked when a wave slammed against the seawall and splashed a meter into the air.
When I walked past two days later, on a considerably less windy day, the tables and seats were all dry (see photo below) and it was once again safe to sit in the sun and gaze at the sparkling sea. Below the some short videoclips showing the Little Venice seaside on a windy, wavy day.
