Venezia

June 9, 2011: Venice, the Queen of the Adriatic

Buongiorno (good morning) San Marino! After soaking up the mountaintop view one last time from our hotel, we packed up the bus and headed to Venezia. Our bus driver Pino (awesome guy) had to park the bus in a parking lot where we transferred to a ferry that took us to Venice.

Piazza di San Marco

Caffe Florian, the oldest cafe in Europe!

Going back for a gondola ride is definitely on my bucket list

Masks all over the place for the famous Carnevale di Venezia

Ciao Venezia!

After spending time in Venice, watching our field hockey girls play against a club in Padova, and having yet another delicious Italian dinner, we rode to the Crowne Plaza where we slept on the comfiest beds all trip. After a long day and a couple drinks, I don't think any of us had trouble sleeping.
