The floating city awaits the first stop of our trip and welcomes us with its charm . History and beauty are breathable in this place. At first sight it has that magic smile which keeps attracting thousands of curious eyes every year. That makes very hard to find a decent room without having to scratch too much our small pocket.
I can see giant staples keeping together every single bridge just to fit one more person because it seems that October, tourism and culture are sharing the ride in the same gondola.
Canals of people walk around this city just to make harder to find that perfect spot and inspiration to get the precious picture that will make me fall in love with Venice like everyone seems to do.
The " Gondolieri" perform their best sing along like mermaids did with Ulysses just to attract one more well to do Japanese. Catching a ride with gondola is not affordable for those who carry backpacks... I don't want to think about how hard for your pocket has to be to catch that Saturday night easy ride home with the zaxi when you had a few extra beers.
So we walk and walk, go up and down with the as well expensive Vaporettos, because swimming is forbidden, and our legs get tired of following directions to the "Piazzale San Marco" or " Ferrovia"
This is only the beginning!!!
