I'm back in Venice! And so happy to be here. Although I must say, it was quite an adventure just to get here. I like our hotel--it's nice and wasn't too expensive. Whoohoo!
Today, after lunch (and after saying bye to India! since she and Nick are on vacation these next couple of weeks), it was time to head down to Merano. The problem was, it had begun pouring right after lunch, but we didn't know how long it would last, so we set out...and immediately got drenched, pretty much. By the time we got on the bus to Merano, my sneakers were sloshy and my jeans were stuck to my legs. Awesome.
Even better, our bus broke down on the way to Merano--but luckily, another bus came by soon after and took us all to the train station. Once we got to Bolzano, we booked tickets to Venice, but what we didn't realize until after we were almost at Verona was that the ticket people had made a mistake in booking our reservations, and they had given most of us an impossible connection--we were supposed to catch a 6:30 train to Venice, but our train didn't get to Verona until 7 p.m.! Craziness. Refusing to be deterred, I hopped on the 7:05 train to Venice with the few who did have correct reservations (yay for rail passes! and no guarantee of ticket checks XP), and I got to Mestre just fine. Besides, I had to pick up Apeksha from the airport, and I didn't want her to wait there by herself for too long. Thankfully, the bus to the airport was easy to find, and there she was when I got there! It was so good to see her :) Best roommate ever. We didn't have too much trouble getting to the hotel from the station, and then we joined everyone else who was grabbing late-night pizza, and now here we are. Tomorrow, the real adventure starts! :D
