After an 8 hour flight, 1 hour shuttle, 2.5 hour train ride, and 20 minute vaporetto (boat ride) we finally made it to our hotel in Venice from Milan. We are staying near the Rialto bridge in a square right off the water.
After settling into our hotel room around 6 pm, we got ready to explore the city. We stumbled upon "mundo di vino" for some "cichetti" (Italian tapas) and local wines.
Little did we know, there were scattered thunderstorms in the air and our exploring was brought to a halt when the skies opened and a massive rain storm began. Matt bought me an umbrella for 10 euro which was very nice until he saw the store down the street selling the same umbrella for 3.99 (the whole city is filled with tourist traps).
For dinner we found a small local spot for salad and pizza. Decent food, nothing special. After a long day, we're looking forward to getting some gelato & a good night sleep to start fresh in the morning!
Xoxo,
Shay (& Matt)
