Venezia

Believe it or not, Venice looks just like it does in all those pictures you see on the travel channel, and on posters - it is stunning! We arrived today via a mini-bus, which was cheaper than the train, and the guy drive us from Slovenia in record time - I think he was hitting speeds of at least 90...it was the fastest I have ever ridden in a car!

Venice is beautiful!! The canals and little winding streets twist and turn all over the islands - every single thing you see, whther it be the gondolas floating by or laundry hanging out of windows, is camera-worthy! We have had delicious coconut gelato today, and spent hours meandering around the streets. I think we're hoping to go on a gongola ride tomorrow, but they are 80 euros!

Now we are at our hostel outside of Venice...it is a campground and hostel called Alba D'onfro and we are staying in cabin 34...my favorite number! It has a great pool restuarant, etc. and we have our own little place for cheap...it's great!

We're having trouble uploading, but when we do we will send some pics your way!
