Street traders were setting up their stalls, Venetians were getting out of their houses to get to work, sea gulls were nervously flying over the canal in search of food and diving . For a long time, Jews were only allowed to live on this island, which became an international word for a neighbourhood where an ethnic or other minority lives. Since the streets here were still dark, I continued further north.
