Florence

This footprint is labeled as Florence but it also includes Venice as I took a day trip there.

I stayed at a big hostel in Florence, there were a lot of people and they also had a rooftop pool. I did a walking tour there, I met an American couple who I ended up getting lunch after with. I think this was also the first time on my trip that I did yoga, as there was a class run by my hostel. My friend Paikea from Genoa arrived in Florence that night and came to my hostel for dinner and Pictionary. I did a funny drawing of Michael Jackson and Pi guessed it. Also during Pictionary I met these girls Kendall and Ally who were planning on taking a day trip to Venice the next day so I decided to join them.

I went to Venice with Kendall and Ally. It was beautiful, I've never seen anything like it with the canals and boats driving through the city. We walked around and explored a lot (the girls went shopping for sooo long). We went to take a water taxi back to the train station and just got on the boat in time, we didn't even have time to buy tickets. We asked the guy on the boat if we could get tickets but he waved us on, so we figured we could buy the tickets at the end of the ride. At the end of the ride a lady was going around and checking tickets. We didn't have any and explained the situation, and she hit us each with a €60 fine.Read more
