Venice, Italy

Venice was wonderful! I loved the city and spent my two days off roaming around and taking in the sites. Unfortunately my camera broke and I was unable to take any photos! Which is a really shame as it is such a wonderful city.

I spent my first day walking around the Canal Grande from the train station end to the Piazza San Marco.

I stayed in a camping site just outside of Venice for one night. It was like a holiday resort with a swimming pool, games rooms and bars. The night I arrived was toga party night and it all felt a bit like a first year uni party. I have to admit I was not really up for running around in a sheet.
The next day I explored the city further and then took a night train back to Torricella and work. While in Venice I worked out the dates I would start at my new help exchange job (that was on a farm in Rome) and emailed my boss at torricella to ask to finish a day later then I had originally said so I could avoid paying for accommodation. It did not work out like that.
