Venice, Italy

The next morning it was time to move and Venice awaited. Unfortunately we only had 2 days and 1 night in Venice. Thanks to the Koppels our Venice hotel was hands down the nicest place we stayed; although, I did like the beds better in Interlaken. It may have been big enough to fit three of our hostel rooms inside of it. I don't know if that speaks to the enormity of our Venice hotel or the scale of our other hostels.


Venice was extremely beautiful as most of my pictures are from there. Anna and I thought it was funny how they call their boats buses because they don't actually have any real buses. All transport is either by foot or boat. The train station was a ways from our hotel so we got a nice tour of Venice in the evening. It was actually like a guided tour because a couple next to use kept pointing out the historic or important points along the journey to each other. They were reading from a book and we just happened to listen in.


The second day in Venice consisted of wandering the narrow alley ways and bridges without a map. We found this way to be most entertaining. When we needed to get back to simply found the water then took the water bus back to the train station to head to Rimini.


My favorite thing about getting to Italy was the pizza. I had a slice the second I got to the train station in Venice. Then we had pizza later that night as well. We may have had pizza again the next day for lunch as well. mmmmm pizza. Their pizza is much different than our pizza over here. The crust is much thinner and they put all kinds of crazy ingredients on it.
