Leaving Rome for Venice

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.
