Girls gone wild

It’s our one day in Venice so we are living it up! We walked so so many tiny streets and saw so so many cute canals and houses. It’s so unbelievably cute in here with no cars to ruin it, I love it. We walked nearly the whole island to get to a park, took a nap, and then walked all the way back to find a gondola to take a ride. It was really hard to wrap my mind around actually being in THE Venice, Italy, even just to know we are in Italy in general is crazy. We then met up with a couch surfing group hosting an event to go watch the fireworks because apparently it’s Venice’s birthday today! I know the universe has been on our side this trip because we always seem to end up where we should be at the best times to be there with no planning whatsoever! It was fun and we got good recommendations for Florence from a guy who has lived in Italy for awhile. He also showed us where we could get some snacky food, basically fried meatballs, and fish on baguettes, as we didn’t have dinner and were now drinking. Met a lot of cool people, another Australian and got to see the fireworks. The recs guy had ice packs which we really appreciated because, again, it’s hot, so now I think I need to carry those around and just hold them on my stomach all day.Read more
