Coming into Venice is something like stepping into a different world. We got out of the train station and looked outside and bang! Water! No joke! A huge canal as soon as you get out. To get to our B & B we had to take a water bus...a WATER BUS! So awesome! We didnt get too lost as Map Man...

The City of Gondolas

To sum up Venice in one word, I would say “unique.” I don’t think there is another place in the world like it. When you step out of the train station, you are confronted by water lapping at the steps. There aren’t taxis, there are water-taxis. There aren’t buses, there are ferries. And...

Check out of campsite, annoying payphone, café hunting in Venice, lots of coffee more pizza more spritz and lots of waiting outside the train station.

Like most places check out time at the camp site we were staying at was 11am, which isn’t really that bad but is when you have 9 hours to kill before your next train and you have to lug your back pack around… Before checking out though we brought an international phone card so that we could...

HOT day in Venice, San Marco square, the basilica, Rialto Bridge and back to the campsite for a swim.

Oh my god! It is HOT here in Venice, I am melting. Actually, I am sweating to death, that’s what I’m doing. It’s like you’ve just stepped out of the shower, that horrible, humid, hot, sweaty heat. Aaaaarrrghhhh. Our first nights sleep was… interesting. We fell into a deep sleep to...

Venice (by Amber)

Well we have arrived in Venice or Venezia and it truly is beautiful. It is such an odd concept to see so many buildings so close to the water and I can't help but to think what happens if the water level rises even slightly. I did read In The book that flooding is a common occurance. As we...

Venice by Day

Our first full day in Venice was wonderful. We visited mostly the Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square. At the piazza, we visited the Meseo Correr, San Marcos Basilica, Doges Palace and caught the most wonderful view in the Bell Tower. We also spent a lot of time dodging pigeons

Lost in Venice

Our day in Venice mostly involved getting extremely lost in the labyrinth of narrow streets, canals and little squares that make up the old part of Venice. In between, we were given a walking tour of St Mark's Square and the surrounding area, but it was so hot we were a little preoccupied with...

It started with a bang

Yes, okay, technically this was one of those 18-30's holidays that everyone above that age looks upon as a bunch of gap-year students' excuse to get absolutely rat-arsed and irritate 'proper' tourists with their total lack of interest in culture. But Sarah and I booked our holiday with Topdeck...
