Dine in the 4-star hotel, the feeling is very luxurious.

Lit candles, on the Western food. Feel a kind of dating romance for 2 persons. Unfortunately, we are the team travel, looks like some wasted this beauty. The day before the dish is a cuttlefish. It's really something special. A black face, black paint smear. Eat into mouth, only half hard, even more special is that after eating, with black, like make-up party paint black lipstick, makes everyone happy.

Consumed meals is the dark hours of music, this is what we have to find our hotel Dei Dogi Dodge.

The whole walking for 45 minutes, finally experience the characteristics of the Venetian island-no rules. The road is irregular, the building was irregular, the House is scattered and irregular, almost lost it, and even tourist guides are lost ... Dear here just like a big labyrinth. Recommendations to individual travel to Venice's friend bought a map.

Finally in the evening at about 10 to the hotel, because one has to rely on walking, so tired.

The original art of behavior here is already a business. If you want to close and his photo, he will be fit, but after you finished shooting will ask you to collect the money. The price of 1 euro, or a bit expensive. So I took once and never tried. This seems to be very popular in Italy. Because the props, costumes, ideas are conceived to yourself, this also becomes a way of living.
