day 2: a long one.

today began a little early, after a late night.
we woke up, got packed and ready to go by 8 a.m.
walked what felt like a hundred miles with our luggage to the bus station
and caught the 8:25 bus to venezia.

we spent the day walking around in awe of the island's beauty.
i still am amazed at the image of a city on water.
there's nothing like it.
here are a few photos from venezia:


church of santa maria di nazareth.










piazza san marco.

around 2:30 pm, we took the train to city #2, florence.
it was nice to relax and sit still for a couple of hours.


tonight, we got to our hostel, plus firenze, and rested for a while.
then, took some friends' advice and had dinner at a nice little place called il gato e la volpe.

tomorrow, we will explore beautiful florence.
