Venezia = Tourists

I got into Venice in the early afternoon on Sunday. It was not lacking tourists at all. The tourist population was almost as bad as Prague or possible worse since it was concentrated on an island. I enter the city with not much of an itinerary. I didn't have any reservation of a place to stay last night. I made some attempt to find a place on the island that showed to be impossible. I made some phone calls to hostels in Florence, my next stop. I connected with one that said they had some open spots, but could not reserve over the phone. So, I just had to jump a train and take my chances. (I ended up snagging the second to last spot in the hostel once I got in at 10:30)

So, I walk the streets/waters of Venice for the afternoon. Had a full delicious meal, and the jumped a train to Florence to escape the tourists.
