Venice, Italy
The plan for the weekend was Venice, Italy. A group of 9 of us had all decided to go to Venice together and we booked cabins at a campsite about 20 minutes outside of the actual city. We arrived at our room around 5pm checked in then hoped on the bus into the city. Venice is exactly what you would expect but at the same time its different. We all walked around trying to familiarize ourselves with the water taxis and getting across the canals. We grabbed dinner at a cool little pizza place down a small alley. The main city of Venice was relatively expensive but where our cabin was located was one of the cheapest supermarkets I had been too since being abroad.

We got up relatively early because we wanted to see as much of the city as we could. We were on the bus by 9:30 and in the city by 10. The play for the day was to walk around and see all the sights then catch a water taxi to the island of Murano which is where the Venetian hand blown glass comes from. We walked around all day seeing the massive church which takes up what seems like half of the Island. The idea of Venice sinking is beyond true, they have man made board walks because the water comes up so high.
After walking around more we all caught a water taxi to the island of Murano and watched a Master glass make blow a few different glass figurines in a matter of minutes.
We watched the master glass make finish then headed back to the water taxi and finally made our way all the way home. The plan for the night was to go a "nice dinner" because that's what the girls wanted, ended up being another terrible mistake. The food was terrible and grossly over priced. I ended up going to Burger King afterwards. From the terrible dinner we went to a casino that we had free entrance too with the purchase of our water taxi tickets. I was able to turn my luck around on the roulette table. I finished my gambling, cashed out then caught the last bus home for the night and turned in.
