Venice

We got to Venice on the 21st of August. Due to the fact that the trains in Eastern Europe don't believe in on time, we arrived in Vienna just as the morning train was departing and had to wait for the 15:15 train to Venice. So of course we arrived in Italy at 22:45 and had to hike through some major construction to the Hotel in Mestre. Terrifyingly enough, some random Italian offered Lorin a ride and we made it in once piece.

Venice was hot and crowded for the next three days. We tried to see things that Lorin had not gotten a chance to when she was there in 2004, we wandered into the non-touristy areas. She bought gifts an souvenirs and we ate alot of food and drank a lot of wine.

The back of the Ponte dei Sospiri (look at all the tourists on the other side! Do they know what they are looking at?)


We spent the second afternoon on the No. 1 Vaporetto, just crusin' the Grande Canale
