This morning we got off the boat really early (around 8:00AM) and had a really smooth transition getting off the ship. Our bags were ready for us and we simply grabbed them, hopped into a taxi, and 10 minutes later we were at our hotel which turned out to be a REALLY nice place so we were pretty satisfied. If we (or anyone reading this) ever goes to Venice. Consider staying just across the bridge outside the city at a wonderful place called “Hotel Bologna” located just across the bridge in the next town over called “Mestre”. It’s well worth it. It’s literally, right across the street from the train station which is a 6 minute ride to Venice for 1 Euro! Great deal and right across the street! The Hotel was wonderful btw…Great customer service, beautiful rooms with plush white satin sheets, modern technology, flat screen tv’s and FREE internet all over the hotel! Well worth the cost of a room for around $175. Pretty cheap!
Since we got to the hotel so early we decided to go back to Venice for another day, this time doing what we called an “eating tour” tour on our own. This meant just walking through the streets of Venice, stopping at several little shops and trying the local delicacies, taking in all the great shopping spots, especially those quaint unique stores that you’ll never find anywhere else. We found several of those. We did a lot of walking today and eventually found our way back to the train which brought us back home for our last night in Europe.
What an INCREDIBLE trip! We will truly never forget it! Please enjoy some final pics…
Love,
John & Janine Schulenburg
