The beautiful, long awaited Venice. O how I love this amazing city. I arrived in Venice after a long 12 hour over night train ride from Vienna on Easter sunday morning. I had to wait on Maria, Amanda, and Kirsten to arrive so I sit on the steps of the train station, which overlooks the water, and listened to Hillsong for about 30 minutes while I had my omg Im in Venice moment. The four of us girls spent 2 nights Venice, and participated in hardly any tourist activities. I have a rule for anyone who visits this city. Throw the map away. There is no use. Venice is one big maze, but I love every piece of it. All you have to do is make your way towards the river and hop on a water bus, their sweet transportation system since there are no roads for cars. Word to the wise..the buses do run 24 hours, but only once and hour past midnight and only at the main stations. It took us 2 hours to get back to the hostel one night, but that would be an entire blog in itself. We spent ours days walking around getting lost in the city, sitting by the water, and eating none other than...yep you guessed it...gelato. Our hostel, A Venice Museum, was a winner too. Family style dinner every night for 3 euro and lots of new friends met. I was sad to leave this city.
