What's there to say, its Venice. Although prices were high and the end of February in northeast Italy on the water isn't terribly pleasant, Venice was picturesque. When we arrived at the train station after a long and uncomfortable overnight train ride from Vienna we knew we had made the right decision. The small narrow sidewalks were filled with confetti from the night before because little did we know we arrived for the last night of Carnivale (although most of the festivities were cancelled because it rained that night).
Two hours of walking aimlessly around, walking down dead-end after dead-end we finally arrived at our hotel and once again I (Corey) flooded the bathroom after a shower. After a week and a half of traveling, during our second day in Venice, the sun made its first appearance. A few hours of contemplation on whether we should steal a boat like James Bond and go on our own tour we decided it was a better idea to just walk the streets and get lost in the city (the bottle of wine at 11:30 in the morning also helped). The city is small but it is easy to get lost because you are constantly making sharp turns and crossing bridge after bridge.
All in all, Venice was a great time to relax and enjoy the surroundings...and drink lots of wine.
