Off to the port!

... The hostel I stayed at was a DUMP! It was really pretty terrible. But I slept well-enough and opted to avoid the 'shower' and wait for the cruise. Though I know that will be a cramped space, but at least it will (hopefully) be clean.

Arrivederci Italy! A presto.

Hopefully I'll find internet here and there while docked at various ports. But it may be a full week before you get any witty, intelligent, humorous updates from this particular traveler. ;)

Ciao!

The Griswolds final hoorah

... and we got even more upset and said to Tilly ( I F*#k your face you F*#k ) I was ready to kill him but thinking I would end up in side street with all his mates we walked away and headed back to the pick up point for the bus well it was sort of a run to the bus. After we got back I said to Tilly you have done it again to me and what makes it worse we did not buy anything at all. We then went back to the ship and I was so glad to be back on board safe and even ...

Ciao Bella!

... perk!) we headed out for the day. Our plan was to make our way over to a house owned by Wake Forest where 16 Wake Forest students are studying for the semester, including one of my good friends Satie and two of my sorority sisters. The house ended up being on the complete opposite side of Venice and because the streets are so confusing and hard to follow, it took us over two hours to make it to the house, but eventually we found it. The Wake Forest house is the old U.S. Embassy ...

Wow there are a lot of tourists here!

After the wedding we spent a few days in Venice before flying home. This is one of the cities I wish I could walk around without anyone else there. I am sure it is much more beautiful without the hundreds of people on every little bridge. It was a lot of fun wandering around, getting lost and then finding a place to enjoy a glass of wine.

cheers

Sono qui! I am here!

... invited. Everyone was very nice. We all brought something as a gift which was mostly wine! There was a ton of food which they said took all day to prepare. Not sure what most of it was except a "huge" pot of spagetti with a sardine sauce! It was good! Tons of dancing! Everyone was very gracious and welcomed us as if they have known us for 100 yrs! When we got ready to walk home it was raining! Oh no! No umbrella, but I was saved as my ...

More rain.....but the promise of sunshine. We started the day off by visiting the island of Murano and going to a glass blowing factory--fascinating to watch the craftsmen. And, we learn that we will have the experience that not just everybody gets when they visit Venice-the duckboards. We had the combination of lots of rain ...

Succumbing to the rising tides

... some reason that 5am was an ideal time to talk and laugh like it were midday. Needless to say, I didn't sleep especially well, so my first few hours in Venice were a tad cranky. I also expected to get a much needed shower first thing after checking in, what with all the the tromping around we did in Eze and Monaco yesterday. So much for that too: the hostel doesn't allow anyone to get into the rooms until 11:30. Thus we had to pass our time wandering around ...
