Italy 2006

Our last day. Our flight to Heathrow was 1410hours so we had to leave the hotel about 1100hours. We had a leisurely breakfast during which it was decided that we would take the time to explore a little of our island - Isola della Giudecca. Giudecca was once the city's industrial suburb, boats wer…

Venice was the city I was most looking forward to on the tour, and it did not disappoint! We had an early morning, as we had to drive about twenty five minutes to get our 8:30 ferry. Once we got there, we saw a glass blowing demonstration, which was really cool. After that, we started our day of si…

Venice is a wonderful city even in the winter. We took the train and fell in love with the city as soon as we walked out of the train station. It was Christmas evening when we arrived so we found a hotel from the travel center in the train station which was the Hotel Vitturi that I reviewed. I…

Backpacking in Europe for one month with an Eurail Pass

Venice, or Venezia to the Italians, is of course famous for its canals. There are about 150 of the buggers, splitting up nearly 120 islands, all connected by about 400 bridges. There are no cars in Venice. Instead, water taxis, waterbuses, and the world-famous gondolas sweep along its myriad of can…

Cities at night offer views both beautiful and revealing, showing traits unseen during the daylight rush. Venice at night shows all its unique character, magnificent history and some amazing and distinct sights. Empty squares, old briges, lonely gondolas in the Grand Canal.…

I love this place! It was humid and hot when I was here. Saw this in the Casa Nova movie and felled in love. Such a breath taking place to go to. Pricey but well worth it all. 

The train ride from Zermatt to Venice took about 7 hours.  Even with a map we had trouble finding our hostel, navigating through those winding streets wasn't exactly fun with the luggage.  Finally found the hostel and dropped off our things and headed straight to the Grand Canal.  Th…

Wow... if you've ever been to Venice in February during the carnivale, you'll know what I mean.   I've been to Venice many times before and yes, it can get very crowded especially during the summer.  But this was something else.  It took me roughly 1 hour just to get to San Marc…

Everybody loves Venice and so do i. So we decided to go to Venice after our cultural visit to Florence. Because Venice was a little expensive and because we wanted to go to the beach a few times as well we booked a hotel in Lido di Jesolo. Lido di Jesolo is a village 45 minutes from Venice but it's…

Its my last day over here...spending it in Venice. Today, we avoided the tourist traps and headed to the northeastern portion of the island, where, based on a recommendation from a fellow travbuddy user, we walked through the international modern arts festival. Saw some incredible and some not-so-i…
