Venice was the most unbelievable city that I have seen on this trip so far. We arrived atht our campsite which was uber clean and cool. I was sharing a room with Tegan and Uta which made it that much better. There were many other Contiki groups at the same time. One of the groups that I had already made friends with at the Chateau and the other I made friend with was a camping one that night. The first night we stayed there, there was a live band playing that put a smile on my face instantly. When we got to the bar, Tegan, Uta and I had 3 rounds of Sambuka shots as well as vodka lim and bitters drinks. I can't say I got too smashed but I was loving it. BJ (later known to be Bathalamus James!!!!) pulled us towards the center to dance with their group. There I met "kinky Pete" who was the only one I met who can dance some salsa. We danced the night away with thelive band, then with everyone we moved our arses to the bar. There we danced on tables, after which Erin and Jusin, the two bartenders, joined us. It was an awesome night that ended in "2" for me, Uta ended with Colin, and Tegan with Nick. That night was fullof sympathies and talk with Tegan on my end. (After which she stabbed me in the back with)

The next morning was a bit delicate, not as bad as can be as we headed into Venice for the day to enjoy some wandering about, a glass blowing show, lace show, and a gondola ride. While wandering about, Peter decided to create his own show and vomited right in front of a church, immediately after Kim said not to each the pigeons. That day we began the "Dick of the Day Hat" that carried on for the duration of the tour. That evening we were having a bbq dinner and salsa night back at the campground that we were all looking forward to greatly.
While wandering about Uta and I bought Benetian Masquarade Masks and we decided to wear them to dinner. Unfortunately no one really reacted the way we had hoped but we still enjoyed it. After dinner salsa began as well as Nick's personal night of Drinking. Chris and Gareth bought Nick 12 shots of Tequila, after which he shook his booty around, sat down, and vomitted it all on his leg! Some guys helped him lie down by a tree by his cabin, then Kim, aka Peanut/Wallnut got everyone up to draw ALL over him. Next morning was also quite good, after a couple of hours of sleep, we awoke to travel towrads Florence via The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
