After a long and restless night spent with five others in the car (not a sleeper car) of a night train bound for Venice we arrived ready for the final leg of the journey. There is not alot to say about what we did in Venice for in reality we did not do much besides walk around the city. That is not to say that Venice was not amazing. T
he charm of the town was apparent immediately as we wound our way through the never ending maze of streets and passageways that comprise the city. The canals and waterways that wove through the islands were marked by hundreds of arched bridges and the morning sky was gorgeous. We went to see the Academia here as well which houses the finest collection of art in Venice. For me, Venice is a one-day experience, exploring the island in a relaxed manner and enjoying time near the salty o
cean.The evening was especially gorgeous as the sun set over the neighboring islands. After buying a giant pizza for dinner that cost us a mere 7 euro, we waited for our 9:30 train at the station. This train brought us to Milan at midnight and we spent the night in the Milan train station, an experience I would never care to repeat again in my entire life. There was no heated waiting room in the station so we were forced to stay awake with our things for 8 hours in freezing temperatures until our morning train to Geneva, concluding an amazing voyage.
