Days 8-11 – Our Train Gets Derailed

We were finishing our last day in Paris by getting ready to depart for my personal most anticipated city…VENICE!!! I saw the Italian Job a few years back, and ever since then its been my dream to go to Venice. We were going to take a train from Paris to Venice. We got to the train station only to encounter our next big challenge. We had misplaced our tickets! Unfortunately, we didn’t find them in time to catch the train. So, once again, now what do we do?

We were forced to stay another night in Paris. Except this time we didn’t stay at a regular American hotel like the Courtyard. We stayed at a normal French hotel. This experience was actually really cool because we got to see how people in France really live, none of that touristy stuff. In the morning we went to the airport and found a flight going from Paris to Venice. We took it, and before we knew it we were on a Vueling plane towards Venice.

We arrived in Venice very late that night. About 1:00 in the morning. We checked into our hotel, which was the most wonderful hotel I’ve ever stayed in, and fell fast asleep. The next day we began to explore Venice.

Our hotel in Venice

We had an amazing time exploring all of the little canals and side streets of Venice. It definitely lived up to my high expectations. There is no other place in the world like it. Its simply amazing.

These are some pictures I took while walking around:

  1. That sounds like a really cool experience. I’m sure that when most Americans go on vacation out of the country, they assume that they are getting an out of country experience, but most of them stay at American hotels. It must have been sooo cool staying somewhere so foreign.
