Venice

We took a train from Rome to Venice. The train was about 40 minutes late so we got into Venice late. Taking the vaporetto was really quite easy. But, getting from the vaporetto stand to the hotel was a challenge. I would recommend to anyone visiting Venice to pack very lightly. Or, check your big luggage at the train station and just take some light luggage. The uneven surface of the streets, along with the bridges that have only stairs and no ramps, makes even the best wheeled luggage a challenge. Then, most of the hotels don’t have elevators so you’ll have to schlep your stuff up stairs.

Our first day was very rainy so we did a little sight seeing. The 2nd day was sunny so we took a gondola ride and walked around a lot more. We found Captain Candy and a chocolate shop. The kids were very happy.

We are off to Paris on the overnight train.

See you in Paris!!
