After Austria, we headed to Venice and were back on track with our itinerary. The train station in Venice is a fair bit away from the city center and we had to wait in the rain to get the bus to our hostel in the rain for about an hour. We were exhausted, smelly, wet and ready to eat some Italian food.
We got to Camp Fusina to find that was a trailer park with portable rooms also on the property. At first glance, we were a little worried, but we found our room to be clean and quiet. And it was a private room for 15€ so we were happy. The ferry was expensive so we decided only to see Venice that evening as our train left for Nice the next morning.
So we had 5 hours to spend in Venice- another canal city that is difficult to navigate. We fell in love with the other island surrounding the main one and getting lost between canals. We decided that it was necessary to at least see the Piazza of Pigeons and the main canal. The piazza was overrated and we didn't find it very pretty but did manage to get some great pigeon-scaring pictures.
After getting lost getting out, we ended up at a cute pizza place and lived it up. We ate a full pizza each, drank wine and had some amazing gelato. It ended up being a blast.
The next morning, we headed out to the train station again to start our longest day of travelling. Destination: Nice, France. I'd finally be back to home #2!
