Left Rome 9.30 am Monday 25th August and caught the fast train to Venice took 4 hours and at times hitting speeds of 300km an hour amazing and what a fantastic way to arrive into Venice.
You arrive into S. Lucia train station head down the stairs to vaporetta stop Ferrovia grab a 3 day pass for 40€ and 1 stop to our next adventure.
We booked a self contained apartment on the Grande Canal for the next 3 nights and we are meet at our vaporetta stop by a young Italian lady that walks us through several narrow calla and over a few cute bridges to a black doorway. Straight in to look at the view ... that what I want to see and we are not disappointed she does the paperwork and we gets some local info on what's what and we sit back and enjoy the view.
How nice is that. It brings back memories of my time in Venice in August in 1975!
