A Ve(ry)nice Day
The train to Venice was both fast and luxurious. We had a fairly quick trip of a little over two hours from Pescara to Bologna, a layover of about 45 minutes at Bologna, and then transferred to the Frecciaargento for the final leg. It was an amazing train, hitting speeds close to 200 km/hr (120 mi/hr) and yet feeling smooth as silk. We got into the station at Venice, amazed to find that just outside the station was a vaporetto stop for Piazza San Marco. ...

Venice - What up with the masks?
... into Venice. We wanted some down time. We GOT IT! Imagine 10 hours in Poway but WITHOUT all the dollar stores. Yep, it was that boring. We had to check out of the hotel at 10:30, so couldn't even sleep it off. So, it was about the longest day in the history of mankind. At 9:30 we got on train and said "Arrivaderci" to Italy and headed into the dark, cloudy, scary unknown of Eastern Europe. Ominous.... More on this later!
