- Only 30 minutes to run through all of Venice...
I met up with a few friends from Versailles who are here in Venice on thier school sketching trip. They rented an apartment because they are here for 10 days. The apartment seems like a nice alternative to hostels. We went for dinner because it was sunday and all stores are closed. I had some pasta with ham in it..i like the pasta but could do without the ham..it got to be past 930 and ben and I had to catch a bus to piazza roma to get out the camp ground (20 minutes and back on mainland). our location was woutheast of san marco. which is really really at the point of the island and Roma was at the north west end. We ran. we ran across these canals...one dead ended into a canal...nope not a large puddle. and another dead ended into a wall, what the?? where was I going I had no clue, but It was wet and raining hard. my jeans were dragging soaking wet. but i still ran. I pretty much took off and i did not look back. I realized i was then alone and ben was not behind me. So I ran harder, following these signs that read arrows to piazza roma. it was like an insane television adventure game. I was like in this maze running from these narrow corridors and through these plazas, my map, heh that was disinigrating and no longer any good. I had to catch that last bus I was not about to spend another night in a city without a bed, alone! I eventually found it from the rear. and ran to the bus as it was pulling away. I was stalling as I was looking for my ticket...this gave ben time to catch the bus too. It was such an accomplishment to catch the bus, Im not sure if I can do the same route again tho...it all looks the same here.
