the best part of holiday is you could spend time or just waste the time, but vacation with rizky means scheduled holiday, get up early stay up late and always come to site that already listed even though we could finish it in two days, if we’re able to visit all site in one day we’ll do it!

That’s what happen in Venice, we arrived on the campsite *it’s not hostel* we got a room with 3 rooms and literally sharing facility they put the toilet and shower outside the room and we had to walk for about 50 m to go to the shower, but still we had a hot shower bath.

Venice is a damp city with narrow street and super expensive food *the assumption based on burger price on McD* due to the city reputation as merchant harbor in middle ages, venice has her golden age during the renaissance era *according to preserved building* the best landmark definitely ponte vecchio *too bad they turn this bridge as commercial bridge* and piazza st.marco, i think it was the best piazza in Italy, where I could find big astromonical clock, the tower, the music concert, and a palace that combine the byzantine and roman architecture.

In venice we spent the most expensive daily ticket ever they charged us 21 eur for 36 hrs ticket, it’s true we could went around the city by ferry but it doesn’t mean that we will get a seat and venice didn’t provide fresh air, could you imagine i always had a bumpy ride from one place to another, very crowded, very slow, very humid and seasickness always haunted me every time i took a ferry ride.

We went to almost every landmark on Venice, every casa, Murano, Burano, the Island that only comprise of tomb, and end up the day with another bread and pate but with live music as our dining entertainment.

To conclude this day as usual we were late to the campsite and we missed the last bus. after 6 hrs of walking around the city we have to add up another 2.5 km of walking on the side of highway and Mei wore her summer dress, it worries me because when we walked all car jst like want to crash us. huhuhuhu

After another hot shower we finally felt asleep and another hectic morning to check out from the hotel, in the middle of that rush i’m still thinking to do the laundry, and it will make us late for 1 hr or so, finally we didn’t take the public bus and took the shuttle bus for 2 euros.

Straight to the station and went to rome, Rome here I come!
