Today we left Rome and headed for Venice! We caught a taxi to the Rome train station and got some fresh orange juice and croissants for breakfast! The orange juice over here is just amazing! They squeeze it fresh from European oranges and it is just to die for! Anyhow then we got onto our train and we were off to Venice! Four hours later we arrived and quickly made our way over to the water bus area and waited for a bus to Lido which is the island that our hotel is on. It toke an hour to get to Lido because we stopped every 5 minutes at a bus stop! Once we got there we got a regular taxi that drove us to our hotel and we met up with my parents! After we unloaded our bags in our room we were off to the water shuttle area of our hotel. We shuttled over to San Marco’s square and took some pictures and I enjoyed chasing some pigeons around! Then we were off to dinner! We ate at this lovely restaurant and had to typical Italian appetizer which is called Caprese! It’s mozzarella cheese with tomatoes. It sounds boring and plain and the states try to imitate it but its so good here! The mozzarella is soft and the tomatoes are covered in olive oil and vinegar and it’s delicious! Anyhow after dinner we ventured around the streets and got some gelato and decided we had to go on a gondola ride through the canals at night. It was really beautiful and the gondolier did such a good job of not hitting anything. I mean the canals are small and wow he was good! Anyhow then we took a water shuttle back to the hotel and now it’s off to bed! Goodnite!
