Back to the Europe Trip:
After our morning in Verona, Italy, we took a train to the famous sinking city of Venice.
We took the Venice equivalent of the subway which is an open air boat/ferry that stops every few feet to pick up passengers. Below is us on the “boatway”.
This was the most beautiful place we saw. (although I know i’ve said that before). It was unbelievable.
All the guidebooks and locals we talked to guaranteed that we’d get lost in Venice. They all said “when” you get lost, not “if” you get lost.
However, we spent $2 to buy an official map of the city made by the city itself and never got lost, not once. The city is very confusing. There are a million canals and bridges and churches.
The churches were the key. Anytime we stopped, we stopped by a church. And was each and every church on the map? Yes it was.
And thus, following the religion of Venice around, we saw all the things we wanted to see and never once got lost.
Fun guessing game: What is the place in the photo below?
Nope, it’s not the opera house that Zak and I thought it was, it was the Post Office next door. That’s right. This beautiful space is the Venice post office! What?!
Venice was absolutely spectacular. And, as a bonus, we had the best peach belini’s in the world. And neither of us like belinis. Something to keep in mind in case you’re ever in the area.
