Venice - Part1

Today we went to Venice.  We woke up and ate cereal. So after breakfast we left and went to our bus stop. We waited twenty minutes until the bus came. When we got to the fourth stop we had a problem. There was this lady who had a double stroller and it was unsafe because the double stroller blocked the door. So the bus driver told here to leave, but she wouldn't. The bus driver wouldn't drive to the next stops. So we waited twenty minutes until another bus that was heading to the train station, and we got on thankfully. The next stop was ours, Yeah! 

 When we got inside the train station my brother didn't feel good. So we went to the restrooms. After, we looked at the arrivals of the trains, there was a train to Venice that was coming at 11:30. So we went to platform seven. We waited and waited until an express train came. We were so happy because we were going to go to Venice. Just our luck we couldn't take it because we bought a ticket for a slower train. The next train wasn't ours or the next. After an Italian speech came on the speakers people started leaving and going to another platform. Now it was 12:30. So we followed the people to platform 6 and there was our train, or so we thought it was. On the train we ate our lunch. My brother started to feel worse. When the train terminated we were in Vicenza. We realized we took the wrong train. We went and got a bubbly drink because we all felt tired and sick in the head or stomach.  After my dad got us tickets to Venice, we all went to the platform and waited until 1:53 and we went on our train. Finally the train came, woo ho!  

On the train I played on my iPad and listened to music. When we got to the Venice train station we looked for a information guide. It was now 2:30. We looked and I found the information site. We learned about the transportation, where our boat tour was, and restaurants that were kid friendly. 

When we were done my dad purchased a map and we followed the instructions to get to our boat tour. We walked and walked while eating our yummy ice cream. My mom told me there are really good parades, masks and food in Venice. We saw many shops while we walked and beautiful bridges over the canals. By the time we got to our boat tour it was time for us to go on the boat. The boat tour was beautiful and it was amazing to be on the canals. Our guide was really good at explaining about everything. We saw museums, houses, shops, and restaurants. Also we saw beautiful flowers, churches, and many other things. After the boat ride we decided to find a restaurant for dinner.

We found a pizza place. The waiter came and my mom started to order our drinks. Right in the middle of or order, the waiter left us to seat another family - without saying anything to us. And we waited quite a long time before he seated us. My parents couldn't take the poor service. So we left and walked and walked until we found a quiet pizzeria. It was really nice service and yummy pizza. 

After our delectable dinner we walked to our hotel. Our hotel was beautiful and had nice service. My dad wanted to look outside in the private garden. In the garden there were caves and a very nice platform to view the ocean and the sunset.

After the sunset we went to get a drink of water and then walked to the big tourist square. My mom found two rings and a necklace that she really liked. So my dad bought it for her. Also my brother found a grass hopper made out of palm fronds. After that, we walked a little more then went back to our hotel. I was so excited for what lies ahead tomorrow!
