So Peter and I got to see the world famous Venice live and in person. We arrived out of the trainstation and we have to take a boat/bus to our budget hotel. There is litterally no other way to get around Venice other than boats its no cliche. We get to our hotel and we are on the island of Lido which is the furthest south island. We got to ride the bus when the sun was setting and that was special. The color of the setting sun on the Venetian islands can hardly be described because it is so good.
So Venice itself is really as gorgeous as you think and Peter and I got to see all the sights and such. Theres really not much to say else about it other than the beauty and the fact that its sickly expensive. And if you were wondering which do I like better the Vegas Venetian or the real deal well its no contest.
Now we are in Florence and as is the patter we got lost leaving the tram station. We had to ask around and fortunately found Americans where ever we went who helped us out immensly. Id say we did a marathon with our packs on today we were so lost.
But little known fact about Florence, Michelangelos David is here and its a block from us. Very cool, so tomorrow we are going to see that and a few other of the major sites. Florence really is a destination to be seen because it is so rich in art and history.
