Hello again. As I said in the earlier post, we got a late start today. We had no idea what to expect in Venice during the day. When we began our walking adventure all we had on the agenda was: Vodafone store and the Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal. What we did not expect was that it seemed that an extra 20,000 people were roaming the streets. It was soooooo hot out, around 86 degrees. As you are walking around you had about 6 inches of clearance between you and everything like the walls, the person next to you etc......no space. For those of you that are claustrophobic, I recommend you only go out at night. It must be that the cruise ships add to the population by day (my guess) and they all disappear at the end of the day.
By the way, we had very little toilet paper in the apartment and since we do not have a mobile phone we could not call Paola our landlord. You would think no problem, just go to the store and buy more right? Well guess again. We added a new agenda item: find toilet paper! After asking 5 locals how to find a store that sells it we finally found a small store that sold cleaning supplies. Remember, they use bidet's here, weird device.
Wandering along with all of my new friends.

Oh no, dead end.
Whoops, dead end again.

We have a long road trip tomorrow. We are taking the scenic route and may even see the Matterhorn on our way to Geneva Switzerland.
Tell Cameron to smile, it will soon be over :)
