Our goal was to sleep in our first morning in Venice, but once again we woke up fairly early. So we packed up our dirty laundry and decided Wednesday morning was going to be all about running errands.
First stop: the train station to reserve our seats for the ride to Vienna on Friday. Which, by the way, our hostel informed us that Friday there is supposedly a strike on all public transportation. But we got our tickets for Friday anyways and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we don't get trapped here.
Second stop: the Laundry Mat. And we desperately needed some clothes washed. 12 euros and 1 1/2 hours later, we had clean clothes and headed back to our hostel to drop them off. We then set off for some food and some sightseeing. We found a great lunch, and no we didn't eat pizza people! We had some delicious pasta. Stuffed as ravioli's, we wandered around Venice. But then we came across a Gelateria and couldn't say no, no matter how stuffed we were. We strolled through the streets and ended up at the Rialto Bridge. We did a little shopping and then decided to go check out St. Mark's Square. With our sore feet and now empty tummies, we agreed to head to the supermarket for snacks and beer, then back to our cozy hostel.
We watched a little MTV, played MASH, made Cootie Catchers, wrote a poem and then went to sleep!

What are Cootie Catchers? Sounds scary. :)
There's a lot of beer in this narrative!
Ooooh, "la greve!" I remember it well. I hope you guys don't get stuck. You'll end up curled around Italian nuns in the middle of the night like I did. ;)
Yes, what are Cootie Catcher's?
Can't wait to hear if you made it to Vienna as scheduled. Although, stuck in Venice doesn't sound so bad from my perspective. Looking forward to your next post-it note!
