One day in Venice

We got to Venice late morning. There was a little trouble at the airport because this lady from easyjet wouldn’t let me carry my hand bag. I was able to fit it in the box with some pushes but the lady was giving me a hard time. She told me to take it out and put it back in. I did it again perfectly and she wasn’t happy about it. She told me to check it in (to increase their revenues of course). I went to the counter and told the flight attendants that I can fit it in the box completely with some pushes. They were satisfied so they told me to come back and talk to the lady. She realized how foolish she is now and started to make a bitch out of herself. She stopped me again and told me that I cheated. The rules said that as long as you can fit your hand bag in the box, you can carry it onto the airplane. I got it in perfectly with some pushes sideway but it’s still inside the box completely. I even took it out and put it back in several times to demonstrate I can do it all the times but apparently she was not happy. Some easyjet customers started to get pissed off and jump in to fight for me. They started speaking her language. By now she realized that she’s probably wasting our time and her time so she let us go. Hooray! Got through security again without checking my bag in (but I need to be careful as I buy more stuff from now on).


Venice sunshine was beautiful, it was warm. We lived at an Island called Giudecca right below the main Venice island. The hotel was a 3 star hotel and it was more than satisfactory. We bought a waterbus ticket for 24 hours but it was probably not worth it (22 Euros each) because nobody was checking the ticket the entire time. As a tourist to a new city for the first time, you always make silly honest mistakes. Venice is beautiful and romantic. There are bridges, water, couples, and gondolas. They say Paris is the city of romance but I think Venice is more romantic. However, I was not surprise because I’ve seen Venice already. I’ve been to the Venetian in Las Vegas, it’s pretty much like the real Venice except the real one is 10 times bigger and looks a lot older. We went around, eating lunch, taking pictures at St. Mark’s Square. 90% of the people here are tourists, most of them from America. In the afternoon, we explored the town of Lido, away from Venice. There’s not much here besides the boardwalk and the beach, which was empty. We headed back to Venice and went around looking for food again.


At night, Venice is very beautiful with the tiny light from windows. We rode the waterbus again to the famous Rialto Bridge. It’s not crowded as it was late at night so we were able to take some pictures. Food was expensive in Venice so we walked far away from the attractions to find food. It’s still not as cheap as in Berlin but compared to the restaurant prices we saw, it was okay. Afterward, we headed back to our hotel and prepared to leave in the morning to Florence, the center of Renaissance Art.
