Venice

Venice is not what I thought it would be. It is over touristed, expensive and not much to do but walk over a million bridges and down narrow alleyways. Not as romantic as I thought it would be. Thank goodness for the people I met there: Lisa, Kristian and Ashley and Mark . There were a lot more people but can't remember their names.



My first day in Venice I learnt the art of sleeping in churches. I would walk for about 20 minutes, get tired, find a church and catch a few zeds inside. This saw me through the day. Also ate about five gelati. They were excellent and this is from someone who doesn't like sweets.



The second day I just chilled at the pool, worked on my tan and had a massive water fight with Lisa, Kristian, Ashley and Mark. That evening we all went off into Venice for a nice romantic meal. We couldn't find a place that we liked so we filled up on pizza slices (they are an economical meal).

On the way home Lisa and I had a romantic kiss on the Ponte di Rialto. The next day I left for Rome.
