We departed on Monday in the noon and right before 8pm we arrive at our hosts. After putting bags in our new little room, we hurried across the street to get tickets for a bus to Venice as we planned to have a nice dinner on our first night of the journey. The seller was a lovely Italian lady that tried to teach us to pronounce dieci euro with such an enthusiasm! When we arrived in Venice, many places were already closed, but we were determined to follow the rule no restaurant with 6-language menu and find a local restaurant I've heard good reviews about. In fact, this restaurant didn't have any menu. The waiter explained what he can offer and we got a freshly caught fish prepared with vegetables and a bottle of local wine. It was a great evening with a great atmosphere of this little surreal fairy tale city.
On the next day we spent time taking tons of pictures during the city tour, exploring all the narrow streets, and little bridges. Even though the city is so small, map is an absolute necessity, as you always need to know where is a bridge you can cross.
The little size of Venice pressured people here used to wear masks in order to stay anonymous when they were talking on streets. We decided to visit the handmade mask workshops and bought masks for ourselves. In some of the shops you can even see the artist painting the masks. I'm really proud about our new keepsakes.
