Venice

This post is likely to be full of spelling errors as the keyboard is missing a lot of keys.

We got in to Venice bright an early on Mondahy morning, after a small walk to the hostel we were greeted by a friendly Japanese bloke who offered us wine and breakfast. We then set out around the area, we are located right on the banks of the Grand Canal, and got ourselves familiar with thee area and the hot baking sun. In the afternoon we caught up on the sleep we had lost on the night train. In the evening we went to a pizzaria and then just chilled out in the hostel.

Today we headed to Piazza San Marco with the rest pf the tourists and seen the Basilica before getting the water train back to the hostel. Later in the afternoon I helped a Croation lady Neda, with her bags and she showed me around her terrace flat, seeing the amazing rooftops of Venice, and then she bought me a beer from the local cafe to thank me. She was a very interesting lady with lots of stories of Venice and Croatia during Communism. Tonight we might go out with other guests from the hostel, then tomorrow we are heading to Rome.

I wish I could explain in more detail how nice Venice is, but the keyboard is useless!!!!!
