This weekend, I traveled with Annie and her mom to Venice for two nights.
We arrived around 8:30pm to a city covered in snow! It was very pretty until we got a bit lost finding our way to the hotel...

Walking around Venice was a bit tricky, but the
vaporetti or water buses were great.

On Sunday, we took a ferry to the islands of Murano and Burano in the Venetian Lagoon. Murano is best known for its glass, of which Annie and her mother bought plenty...lol

Burano is known for two things, its handmade lace and its colorful buildings.

On Monday, Annie's mom treated us all to a gondola ride! It had been one of her dreams to take a gondola ride in Venice.
Overall, the Venetian adventure was great, now its off to Berlin!
Ciao for now,
Kyle
