Day 10- Venice

Day 10 Friday

Bright early in the morning our group met in the hotel for breakfast then off to our private coach buses (which have been our transportation for every trip). The 3.5 hour drive was a perfect opportunity for my first nap on the trip!

The following events that occurred in Venice may be shocking….prepare yourself!
Once we arrived in Venice the buses had to stop at the port because buses are not allowed in. Unloading the buses took a bit, then we walked to a port where all 112 of us tried to fit in one water taxi. But we were unsuccessful, and eventually took two boats. The first boat was so heavy because of the packed in students, the water was extremely close to the windows. I thought if we added any more people we would have sunk!

After the boat ride, we walked to our hotels. We were assigned two different hotels because we were staying on the smaller island of Venice. Once we settled into our ancient hotel room, our group headed off to see some sights....I can’t remember all the sites at the moment I will have to look at my itinerary, but I will get back to you all!
