Venice - Arrival
I think it will take long before I can say fully describe what I've seen, thought and felt being in this place...
First I didnt even know that Venice was a island, I thought i was part of the continent. There is a looong kind of bridge that comunicates with the continent. We arrived there by bus from Treviso airport. Once in the bus station we walked to the bank and there it was... the acuatic world with all the gondolas and taxis and little ships... we took the Vaporetto, which is the bus there, and make our way to Piazza San Marco. The bus goes in circles around venice and inside venice by the Gran Canal, so it didnt matter at this point what direction to take. Getting to the piazza some 20 min later was an amazing thing, however small, I felt as a traveller from the past coming from long distances... at least I thought in what they (the past travellers) would have seen and felt when they where comming here. I can't describe it very well (and I dont have much time to think about the right words in this cybercafe, im sorry)
We stayed in the hotel I found through the internet, just on the back of the Piazza, so it was great location. As we arrived quite early in the morning, we just droped our bags and went to wander around the city. I love that, just walk without using the map. So we walked and crossed so many little bridges, seeing the canals and peoples and gondolas, the houses of fading colors, with long windows and some with red flowers, we saw the house in which Marco Polo lived apparently, and then we decided to eat a pizza. After that a little more walking after I decide to ask someone where (in the map) were we. And then we made our way back.
