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.

I found your blog on google while doing some of my own research for the train from Beijing to London. You're blog is fantastic, btw. I'm currently spending some time in Korea, and hoping to take the train to London next year. What sites did you use to research? Any advice you could give would be fantastic. Keep up the great work on the blog!

Thanks for the blog.
Similar to jenn, I happened on your postings while looking for experiences on the train from Beijing to Lhasa... (i'm going to do xian to lhasa next summer)
but I got hooked by your adventurousness and generosity of spirit.
Good writing and great travels!
