Two hours from Florence by train is Venice. We took the vaporetto (water bus) to our hotel. It was a pleasant 45 minute ride down the Grand Canal. Our hotel is steps away from St. Mark’s Square. We spent the afternoon wandering around. We tried getting lost, but I can’t stand not knowing where I am, so I kept looking on the map. Venice is a tangled mess of streets. It’s real easy to get lost, but you’re on an island, so there is only so far you can go.
