I originally booked with "couchsurfing" for Venice because I'm only here 1 night and how that website works is you stay at other people's houses/flats for free! The guy I was supposed to be staying with cancelled on me last minute so I had to book a hostel a train stop away from the centre of Venice.
Not a problem though I got off the train and followed the directions I got from the hostel which were idiot proof! Or as I would like to say Connor proof. A monkey could have followed these directions and been there in 5mins! It's also great because it's really close to the centre of Venice but still wasn't insainly expensive like the centre of Venice.
I took a cold shower when I got here again because as life would have it no air conditioning in this hostel. I got ready and headed for the centre. Once I got there I got on a water taxi and took the taxi through the canals and to the other side of where the canals open up.
Once there I got off and walked along some of the side streets just looking at the buildings and the canals. Such an old beautiful looking city! The canals are hardly dirty aswell so they are great to look at!
I got an ice cream and kept walking slowly back towards where I had originally come from. Stopping to have a traditional Italian supper. And by that I mean a pizza. Really yummy! I got the taxi going back to where I had got on and then walked around some more. After it got dark I called it quits and headed back for the hostel.
I met 2 Korean guys in my room, and 1 from the Philippines, we all talked in the room for quite a bit just about our travels through Europe, etc.
*sorry about the amount of photos! There are a lot! But I couldn't not put them on they're great pictures! Enjoy! :)
On the train headed from Milan to Venice
Passing towns in Italy along the way
DHL boat services
Cruise ships by the port
Some gelato on the side streets in Venice
Look at the size of this pizza!! Look at the napkin on top of the glass to see the size of it!
