Oh did I mention that on our Adventure that day we found a casino? Of course leave it to me and Alex to find a casino on our vacation. Here is another pic I took of the Gondolas while we were walking around I think the only thing that could have made it better would have been a glass of wine, or maybe even a bottle of champagne! Ah well maybe next time. I loved every minute and I was so happy I had someone special to share it with. This was such a romantic and magical experience. it’s a tourist attraction, so you will pay a hefty price. I will give you a little heads up though…. We definitely had to go on a ride while we were here. Gondolas are such an iconic role in Venetian history and culture. Here is some other parts of the square I did get. Marks Basilica was under construction so I didn’t take any pictures of it. Later in the afternoon we found our way to St. Just walking through here you feel the history and Italian culture. It was things like this that you just don’t see everyday.
Like the door above and the walkway below. The architecture here was something that really impressed me. After we found a nice spot for some “take away” wine!Īnd then we just explored the city. At least compared to the other disappointing food we had. So that’s exactly what we did! First we stumbled upon some coffee and pizza to start the day. Apparently the thing to do in Venice is get lost and try to stumble upon cool things. The next day Alex was feeling a little better so we did some site seeing. But the wine was good! And I will admit I had a fun time just sitting on the windowsill drinking my wine and watching the other tourists try to find their way around. But overall most of it was cold when it should be warm/hot and wasn’t very flavorful. And I thought maybe it was just a bad recommendation, but I found out later that there is no GREAT food in Venice. I found a little spot outside on the windowsill. And if you do this you get your items at about half the cost as you would sitting down. They give you your food on a regular plate, wine in a wine glass and you either eat standing or you find a curb to sit on outside. This doesn’t mean they wrap it all up to go like they do here in the states. If you want to save some money, you “do as the locals do” and get all of your food and drinks as “take away”. Our host also let us know about the restaurant trick out here. Especially with how many people there are to witness. The city is just tons of narrow streets and canals, it would be a little hard for someone to escape unnoticed if they committed a crime. Even being lost on my first night in the middle of the night by myself, I did not feel in danger at all. Ended up getting lost and passing the place about 7 times before I realized that was the place! lol!! I highly suggest this site next time you travel! (Click this link for $20 off your first stay) Alex got sick so I wen’t off to try and find a restaurant our host recommended for some dinner. Which was really great because we got the real local experience. We didn’t get a hotel here, instead we booked a room on Airbnb. “Oh My Gosh!! We’re ACTUALLY in Venice! Somebody pinch me so I know this is real!” The water bus is a little cheaper, we took that from the mainland to get to the island. Or if you feel like paying an arm and a leg you can take a water taxi. The Island has no cars, no bikes, no vespas… to get anywhere you walk. I had been dreaming of visiting here for as long as I can remember. This was a city I was most excited about.
