Arrivederci Italia

Day 6: Venice

For our last day in Venice, Italy we decided to go to the beach that many people rave about. After getting on the wrong bus (story of our trip) and finally getting to the right place we took a ferry to the island of Lido that is next to Venice.

__________

What I found out today:

-The hotels we stayed at have weird hairdryers. They look like vacumm cleaners.

-You will never get bored of the neverending rows of different color houses along the canels. They are all so unique!

-Scarpa Cosetta Pasticcerie has very many yummy pastries! We may have bought 11 different kinds to take back with us to the hotel

-I didn’t like the Venetian drink that is the traditional drink of Venice. We saw everyone drinking it so we had to try.

Ingredients: White wine, Spritzer, bitters, something else that is orange, something else, olive, orange slice

-Birds here are not scared to get on your plate and eat off it

What I Saw:

-Lido Beach

-Venice in a different point of view by ferry (Bella!)

-Town of Lido

Misc: Brenna didn’t find her tall dark handsome guy here. She’s going to look for her blond, blue eyed love in Copenhagen.

Today was a great last day in Italy. It was a fun short trip and I hope I get to come back one day and visit these cities again. Next time I’d also want to see the leaning tower of Pisa, eat more local cuisines, more pizza, more pasta, more creampuffs um basically all food. Our last sunset in Venice was gorgeous. 

Tomorrow will be a day of traveling train to Milan’s airport than flight to our new home for the next few months, Denmark.  After our program in Denmark ends in August we get to be in Ireland for 4 days before we go back to the states!! Woo! 

Shout-outs: To my little brother, you would love love love the lasagna here! All the people in Italy that helped us not get too lost and not getting angry when we didn’t understand what you said but pretended to. :)

The Whalens for being Brenna's fabulous parents!

End of the Day thought: I’ll be back Italia! Ciao for now.
