Venice, Italy

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I have been busy enjoying Italy and Spain. I eventually made it to Venice. I had a great time. People told me that it was an expensive city and I now believe them.

I didn't make it to Venice on the first day that I was their because it was raining and I was very tired. I did make it the next day. I took the bus from Mestre where I was staying onto Venice. I then walked from the bus station to St. Marks Sq. I didn't know where I was going I just started walking. I was able to make it their in about 90 minutes.

I really liked everything that I saw. That city does need a power washer though. I made it to St. Marks Sq around 10 am. Their wasn't a lot of people there at that time which surprised me. I was able to walk around with out much trouble at all. I posted some of the pictures. I was able to make it to the top of the tower in front of the palace after about 30 minutes standing in line. I was then able to get a great view of Venice. When I got done with that I walked around the coast of Venice for a while. I must say that if I ever win the lottery I am going to buy a place their.

I walked around for a good 4 hours the Sq and coast. When I got tired I decided to walk back. I decided to take a different way back so I just picked a direction and started walking. After about an hour I was able to find the bus station.

When it was all said and done I walked for about 7 hours for a total of about 4 miles. When I made it back to my room I slept for about 11 hours. Then I woke up and took the bus back to Venice to catch a train to ROME!
