Day 16: Venice

The day started off with taking a bullet train to Venice from Florence. The train ride was quite fun. When we arrived we had a few minutes for photos and then we had to board our taxi boat. It was a short ride to where we were getting off. We found ourselfs in real Venice. Not the Venice everyone knows for tourism, in the calm quiet parts of Venice. We weaved our way through the streets slowly getting into the tourist area.

After the tour we had some free time. Most people went on a Gondola, but I didn't. We found some soveniors, wandered the streets of Venice, got gelato, and got dinner. For dinner I got spaghetti with tomatoe sauce and it was really delicious.

Later we returned to meet up with the rest of the group. Not sure who started the new game but we were doing selfies with random strangers. It was quite interesting to watch people's reactions. Shortly after we took the boat taxi back and hopped on our train back to Florence.
