On Tuesday, April 17th Meghan, Michael, and I took an early morning flight to Venice, Italy. After we landed we took a bus to the island and checked our luggage at the train station. It was absolutely beautiful in Venice, 70 degrees sunny and blue skies! There really aren't captions worthy of these pictures so just enjoy!
Piazza San Marco:
Rialto Bridge:
There are no streets on the island of Venice, only pedestrian sidewalks. The only way to get transported around the island is by water taxi. It was very similar to a city bus with boat stops, time tables, and tickets.
Riding the water taxi:
We unfortunately didn't ride a gondola. Gondola rides were over 100 Euro ($130) for an hour. Some day it will be in my travel budget! That evening was our first meal in Italy. We picked a small restaurant next to one of the canals.
We had pizza and wine of course. The pizza in Italy is delicious and very fresh!
Six hours after arriving on the island we took the late night train to Florence, Italy. The ride was about two hours. We were fortunate enough to get a table on the train so we played cards and drank wine all the way there! The ride through Italy was beautiful.
Next stop...Florence!
