Venice

We arrived in Venice knowing that our hostel was not on the main island, but what we did not know was that we definetly should buy a 48 hour (or more) ticket for the vaporette. We ended up paying way to much for a single ticket (6,50 Euros for a single tip), and since they did not have a ticket office on the island where our hostel was situated we had to pay the same amount to get out to the main island the day after as well.
The place of our hostel was amazing and for my part the best thing about Venice was to sit outside the the hostel with a bottle of wine dipping our feet in the channel.
Venice is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen, but the transport system with the vaporettes could be a bit more efficient or at least better explained, we ended up taking unnecessary long trips to get from one place to another.
We used the first day walking around the main island and spending a lot of time in Plaza San Marco exploring our cameras and testing different functions, photographers as we try to be.
The second day we ended up going to Lido, the beach just outside Venice. With bath tub warm water we had difficulties trying to cool down from the immense heat of Venice. Still tired after our speed tour through Rome this day was a godsend for two norwegian bodies. I just wish we would have thought more of bringing a higher sun screen.
