European Road Trip | Venice, Italy

I have no idea if my day count is correct.

After we ferried back from Santorini, we drove back through Greece and ferried back to Italy. 

We then drove to our campsite that was just a boat taxi away from Venice, Italy.  Venice is so cool! There are no cars, there are boats for everything. We saw a fireboat, a police boat, and even a trash collector boat.  Venice is mostly made up of tourists so everywhere you turn is an art museum or souvenir shop. It was still a really neat place to walk around and definitely still very Italian. We ate more pasta and more gelato, found a really creative bookstore, and saw the Bridge of Sighs (kissing underneath at sunset during a gondola ride is good luck.. or something like that.) Carey spent the first day with us there and then flew back to Rome to fly back to the states. We are so glad she was able to join us on part of our trip.  The second day in Venice we took a Gondola ride with what I'm pretty sure is one of the best gondoliers out there. We saw some who were playing on their phones as they toured but ours was awesome. He has been a gondolier for over twenty years and knew a lot about the city. The gondolier was one of my favorite parts of the trip.  The next day we relaxed before we headed to the last stop on our trip.
