A Few Hours in Venice

Due to Trenitalia having the worst website in the history of the Internet we only actually got to spend a few hours in Venice. We were supposed to stay overnight but the train we needed to get on was booked out and we had to leave the day earlier. I also won't go on about how unhelpful this dude at the Trenitalia office was but anyway we arrived in Venice at 3.30pm and left at 8pm. Although I will say we were probably grateful as it was stinking hot and unbelievably crowded. Still had to go though:)

Oh yeah and we got this thing coz it looked cool/gross/awesome. It has a straw too and you drink it. Tasted like Kahlua to me actually. Not sure why you would get it but ok, we did. haha.

Anyway, Venice. It has all that Venetian stuff like masks...

A Rialto Bridge...

People on Gondolas...

Millions of little bridges...

Nuns...

And more gondolas....

Did I miss anything? Oh yeah they also had heaps of African men selling fake handbags that were laid out on bedsheets. And you even get to see them bundle up the sheets and start running when the cops are around. Cool!

If you've been to Venice before then you'll know that they also have these wine places where you can pick up a litre or two or wine for next to nothing. It's like a co-op situation or so the guy told us. We opted for a local specialty which was just about the most expensive thing there and it set us back 3 Euros 15 cents for 1.5 litres. Now that's what I call value!

Here are some of the wines...

And here's Nate with our 1.5Ltr bottle of goodness. And it was really quite good actually!
