    Arrivederci, Firenze…Ciao, Venezia

    Once we got Sydney settled in, we hopped the Italo train to Venice. We checked in and made our way to the Grand Canal.

    It was a chilly and foggy night, making it difficult to see, but just walking around this unique city makes me think of all the movies set here, especially The Italian Job, and how water transport or your feet are really the only ways to get around. We trekked across a few bridges and walked around admiring the store windows and architecture.

    When our stomachs started growling a while, we returned to a restaurant we had passed by earlier called Aquila.

  • All day in Venice

    January 22 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F

    Although our time in Venice was short, we made the most of it by starting with a self-guided cruise on the water shuttle. We started at first stop from the Piazelle Roma and stayed on until we arrived at Piazza de San Marco.

    After debarking the ferry, we went to St. Mark’s Square and meandered back to where we began. We stopped at various artisan shops, bakeries, cafes as we trekked on the cobblestones. There were so many beautiful shops with Murano glass made into kitchenware, jewelry, or sculptures.
