Europe/UK Day 7 - Venezia

Friday, August 15, 2008

So we reached Venice.. It's surrounded by water so the only way to get there is by boat! First had to figure out how to get to our hotel.. Took a public bus to the docks to take the public boats there.




It was dark and we stupidly took a boat in the wrong direction! After a while luckily one of the staff asked us and sent us off the boat. Finally reached Rialto station after some time. The lovely owners of the apartment we rented were waiting at Rialto station for us and brought us to the hotel. Thank goodness they came to fetch us because it is Impossible to navigate through the dark little alleys with non-visible signs, without a map. Our hotel can't be found on GPS maps either since it isn't exactly a huge hotel.


Residenza Castello 5280. I strongly recommend this apartments, they aren't too expensive, and are huge and comfortable. Plus the owners are really friendly and helpful!



Nice right! Complete with washing machine. Wish we could stay here for a few more days.


our room.. The apartment is decorated with murano glass chandeliers. (which is made on Murano, one of the venetian islands). Ok, shitloads of photos on beautiful Venice the next day.. so will take some time before the next post. =)
