Adventure 2018

Day 2 June 5, 2018

After the mass traveling with flights…from Charlotte to Boston.then to London and finally to destination of Venice Italy. From the airport to the Vaporetta (bus taxi) . The owner of the apartment we are renting meets us at the station to guide us to it. She is walking as fast as possible and with our semi exhaustion we trail behind. Her little legs just didn’t slow down. To help us move fast I guess she grabbed Julie’s backpack and my suitcase and off she goes. When we get to the apartment, the tiny stairs winded up to the 3rd floot. The entry way was a little scary however the apartment was very nice.

Showers and dressing up we were out again. We caught the Rialto bridge at night which was beautiful, ..we trailed into St. Marco’s square to see the beautiful view of the square. We bought water bus tickets and took a ride on the Grand Canal. Of course we wanted back deck seats that were full, waiting at the door we were ready to pounce when those people got off the boat. After the ride we got a smoothie at the smoothie shop, gelato at the gelato shop. We then headed to a little cafe for our dinner. Salad and a drink …didn’t settle well. Julie was not feeling well and exhaustion had hit us all, we decided to head back to the apartment. Of course we were lost. I don’t kmow if they believed me before, but I do stay lost. It was 11 pm though. As we were walking up and down the stairs, Julie’s heel got caught in concrete step, I tried to grab her, she grabbed me and we both go tumbling down. Both of us wearing dresses, of course course was not very lady like….and of course it would be on the busiest street in Venice. One man turned and started laughing saying something in italian….I turned to him and in my meanest voice told him to shut his mouth! People turned to help us, but I was more fearful I would pull them down with me…Julie hurt her leg in the fall, and was having trouble walking on it. So with our help and Angie’s GPS we were on our way back to our room…an hour later.(should have been 15 minutes) we were back home. Asleep we were.
