You've
marveled at the Basilica, you've toured the Doge's Palace, and you've taken the
obligatory vaporetto ride up the Grand Canal. You have a couple of hours to kill
before the next round of churches and museums. What should you do: Find a
laundromat so you won't have to wear dirty clothes for the rest of the week, or
look for an Internet point so you can learn whether you still have a family, a
home, and a job?
Not to worry: Thanks to Speedy Wash and Planet Internet, you
can soak your clothes and surf the Net at the same time.
The Speedy Wash "Laundry Self-Service" has washing machines in two sizes, 8Kg
and 16Kg, plus large washers. Detergent is available on the premises.
Next door, at Planet Internet, you can rent a computer terminal and check
your e-mail or plan the remainder of your trip on the Web while your clothes get
clean.
 Speedy
Wash and Planet Internet are in Cannaregio, within easy walking distance of the
railroad station. As you leave the station, turn left and follow the main
pedestrian route. Keep going until you've crossed the Ponte delle Guglie, the
bridge over the Cannaregio Canal. (See
photo.) Continue straight ahead on the Rio terrà
S. Leonardo until you see the "Self Laundry" sign.
