Verona and Venice Part 2

So we left Verona about 12pm and hopped a train to Venice. This only took about an hour and I slept most of the way there. Upon arrival to Venice we immediately got back in line to get tickets back to Napoli. It was a little tedious when all I wanted to do was go out and see the city but it had to be done. Well upon purchasing return tickets I walked out of the train station and saw this!

You can see the water with boats going up and down it. It was amazing!! We walked out of the train station and just to the right was the vaporetto that we needed to take to the Rialto exit to get to our hostel. Let me just say that I think it is way to expensive to ride a vaporetto. It cost me 12 euro for only 2 tickets and that just covered getting there and back. We walked on and sat in the waiting dock and this was the view.
The vaporetto finally came and we took it to the Rialto exit no problem. We saw some interesting things on our trip down the Grand Canal though. Here is a look at what we saw.

An ambulance just cruising down the canal off to something important I would guess.

The first look at the Rialto bridge as we neared our stop was amazing. You never expect something so historic to be just around the corner but thats the way it seemed with everthing in Venice. Upon arriving at our stop we went over the Rialto bridge and followed the directions exactly to our stop. We had been a little leary of the directions that the hostel had online since others had commented that they were not very good but we had no problem with them and went straight to our hostel no problems. We weren't quite sure what to expect from our hostel. There had been mixed reviews about it online so we were a little skeptical but our worries were for not because upon getting there we discovered we had one of the coolest set ups ever.
We had reserved a 6 bed mixed dorm. This means that there are 6 beds in a room and it doesn't matter what gender sleeps there. Well that's technically what we got but it was way better. We walked up these stairs to our room and you open the door and there is only 3 beds and 2 of them are already taken. This made us a little worried until the lady showing us our room opened a door on the other side of the first room which was another room with 3 beds. It turned out that our room only had 3 beds in it and that we could lock it and to top it off they even provided a towel which many hostels do not do. After that we just wondered around the city. We had no plan and no agenda which made it spectacularly relaxing. Here are a few photos of the city.

My favorite!

And so ends my trip to Verona and Venice. It was an amazing experience that I shall never forget. I have come to the realization that when you travel you learn new things about yourself and I have been finding them at ever corner. Dream sweet dreams and live happily!
