Day 33: Venice, Italy





We had a very productive morning doing the internet, laundry, supermarket, foreign exchange etc. Our plan for today was to explore Venice so we tried to catch a bus to the port but they ran every 4hrs and funnily enough we missed the last one. So we walked 3km in the boiling hot and caught our ferry to San Marco Square. We were swarmed by millions of tourists doing the same thing! We strolled the very tiny windy streets for several hours and soaked up the Venecian spirit which was very impressive. We made our way back by ferry and walked the final 3km back to the campsite. We headed straight for the beach and to cool off in the sea. However, as we were about to dive in we spoted hundreds of dreaded jelly fish! It appears they may have not been stingers, as children and Kris were picking them up and playing with them! We went for dinner and got attacked by mossies again which made us leave there pronto and we came across a games room where Kris smashed the record on the basketball game!
