Our Last Day In Venice

AHHHHH a good nights sleep!  Woke up and repacked for the hmmmm – lost count – 10th time?  Stored our bags in the lobby until we had to leave at 6:30 pm and set out for the day.  I am telling you again – there were SO may people in Venice – we all came to the conclusion that we did NOT like Venice – The only thing we liked is when we found a quiet alley and a good restaurant!  Around 2 pm we were tired of fighting the crowds and went back to the Westin Lobby – to the sitting area – to play cards and take a catnap J We regrouped and were on our way around 3 to find a good Gelato place!  Experienced more of the streets of Venice and stumbled upon the Hard Rock CafĂ© in Venice – Guess what we were all thinking – FOOD – a good place to stop for a few hours before we had to leave and we were all craving a good large coke with ICE!  We got back to the hotel around 6:30 to get a ‘private’ water taxi (at the tune of 70 Euros for a 15 minute ride!!!)  I refused to take the waterbus that was CRAMMED PACKED with tons of people!  We are on our way to another country and another adventure!  Goodbye Italy – Hello France!!! 

Highlights of Italy – Rome and Armando our tour guide, Florence and Barbara – another great tour guide, being with friends in the most magical place in Tuscany, kayaking and boating around Capri, hiking to the five towns in Cinque Terre, the Margarita pizza…
