First Days in Venice
By traveltripz on May 11, 2007 in Venice, Europe, Italy
We arrive at the hotel and are taken to our room. Uh oh, this won’t do. They have given us a double bed, well this won’t do, we had specifically booked a twin room.
So off we go down to reception to see if another room can be found, and sure enough there is a room at the top of some rather steep stairs, almost like a ladder, with a heavy gold colored rope adorned with red braid, with which to haul ourselves up. Lots of fun and good exercise.
The view from this room was over some dodgy looking rooftops.
We dropped of the bags, freshened up and set off sightseeing. Some of the tales we had been told about the smell didn’t eventuate. Although we are visiting in the height of summer, there aren’t any nasty smells at all.
The streets are paved with arched veranah areas on either side as we head down past the shopping area towards St Marco.
