Venezia

All in all Venezia has been very good to us. Our hostel is so much more like a hotel than a hostel-we have our own bathroom, fridge, tv and we have AC!! So much to love and that is only the room! Yesterday ended up being a very good day after we showered and rested a bit. We walked around a bit but made it an early night as we were tired and needed some time to recoop in our lovely air conditioned room. Venice isn't really a sight seeing city-it is more of a take in the beauty city. We did go to San Marco's cathedral this morning though... Beth was impressed with all the paintings and how ornate it was. I found a smaller church that impressed me because it was equally as beautiful without all the tourists and I got to reflect and pray for a bit. We then hit the flea market and went shopping! We went through the whole market first and then went back to get the best deals. We didn't go too crazy but we did knock out buying gifts for all of our loved ones. The best thing is that we were completely conscious of our pack carrying so they're all lovely but very compact at the same time. I'm off to the hostel now as we train it to Roma tomorrow morning... no overnight train now though... only 5 hours on the rails.
