Venice

We woke up early (for what feels like the 1,000th day in a row) and left for Venice. We didn't have much time in Venice but it ended up being perfect. We were able to fit everything in. It's actually a pretty small. It is an awesome place to see but it's also really dirty. We realllly wanted to take a gondola ride but knew they would be insanely expensive. Luckily a family we saw were all thinking the same thing so we went with them and split the cost. It was a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure our captain (?) was wasted but no one got hurt so it's all good. After seeing almost everything we headed for the Jewish Ghetto. We saw a little restaurant along the way and stopped for dinner. We ended up to this 70 year old couple from Cornwall, UK who have been married for 51 years and have traveled pretty much everywhere on the planet. They were awesome to talk to. We ended up talking for so long that we had to abandon the 'to and head back to the hostel.

I really enjoyed Venice but I wouldn't want to stay there longer than two or three days.
