Tale--the tool strip you see Italy (bottom)

From Rome to Venice, you need to sit 4 hours of Eurostar.

When the train slowly through the unique connection continent of long beach, looking at both sides of the vast sea, feel the train like a special ship, carrying our drive towards the moondown on dreams.

Out of Santa Lucia (S.

Lucia) train station, eyes bright blue sky, cloud,: sunshine, along the ancient building in the heart of the bustling boats on the River-TV in Venice in the picture is just before eyes. From the station sat 2-way water bus (in fact, is the public Steamboat) to the guest, takes about 40 minutes. Water bus stop walk, who jumped on board, and we are excited to have snapped out crackling film a gas: Mad River flowers surrounded by restaurants, deep hung with one-way street and speed 5 km sign of water Lane, water bus station in ship's visitors, with ornate balconies of the hotel, floating color flag of consulates, River Bridge, has a colorful thousand year history of the water Taxi gang Dora the Explorer (Gondola), the renovation of the Church ... Sitting in the bow, Breeze, just like the cinema, Venice slowly along the Grand Canal. Gradually, more and more open, far from the river and see the Bell Tower of San Marco square, Napoleon wins praise "Europe's most beautiful living room".

Because of the high season, the square of a considerable number of visitors, more than the number of pigeons on the square.

Fortunately, we managed to a Chinese person, on the population density was immune. Follow the flow of drilling square next to the alley, find here the brand's flagship store than Rome also intensive. In addition to luxury shops, a wide variety of souvenir shops, arts and crafts shops, clothing stores, restaurants. Although feel a strong commercial flavor stilled on Venice's romantic expectations of some regret, but in such an atmosphere to the Mall, is a different experience. As long as the shop around the spirit of 35 Euro buy Dessel's new leather wallet is not impossible. As for hundreds or thousands of home stained glass jewelry shop select favorite jewelry, need a double eye.

In this way aimless shopping, many junctions arbitrary choice forward direction: or the front of a shop window, or catch a glimpse of water lane in a window the bright flags, or the end of the road in the light of dawn, or just to avoid the opposite of visitors ...

Then, at a certain moment, we suddenly realize that we are lost. Show map on for a long time, but to no avail. Even in the way of results in the restaurant was also satisfactory. It is said that in Venice in addition to the postman, no one can guarantee a truly know the way. Forget it, or you don't want the purpose then is strong, continued to wander.

The supper, we wandered the Rial Thomas Bridge, looking for a family of Japanese recipes restaurant in, and then get a menu in English and Japanese menu control order.

I called the seafood Center and vegetable salad, friend, as always, called Seafood Stew with potato, sitting on the Canal side, the side is in full bloom daffodil, drink a little wine, watching feet clear river flowing slowly darkening sky, restaurants shops and bar water bus station and the river cruise ships have gradually come on Oregon, Dora the Explorer for lights. Or cold or warm lights grins at the River, and the stars of heaven, people slightly drunk. Walk the walk, heard the band warm voice, small square is an open-air bar. Flickering candle light, people in the music and alcohol for relaxation. Not in the bar consumption of people sitting in twos and threes, embankment carrying a bottle of beer, in a time when the music dies out, likewise with warm applause.

Don't know where it came from the inspiration, we remembered the surviving code experience, decided to walk on the river and back to the hotel.

As it turns out, if we are not going to swim, and there is no way along the River. Maybe the blood to the stomach, we forgot to Venice from 118 small islands. In one way the poor, we gave up. Finally caught a water bus station, just as caught at straws. In Venice or water transport is reliable, it is no wonder that there are families in front of a speedboat, even if you go to the supermarket is also a departure.

Back to the hotel, and time.

In the store bought two bottles of beer, sitting in a hotel at the entrance of the bridge and chatting with friends. This tour of Italy, because getting lost, we missed the legendary bridge of sighs; we do not deliberately go to the "Roman holiday" in the famous mouth of truth. Compared to a tour and hold Raiders one wheel, I would rather choose along with the nature and to the shopping mall. It is in this kind of leisure, we have more opportunities to learn about Italy, not just watching tours Guide. I will remember those lovely Italy: Sunday secluded streets initiative to show us the way of beautiful sister, no smoke shop around St. Peter's square to a friend for help tobacco kindness police, church we said goodbye with Italian aunt, smile and gesture to help us spot a delicious meal of Granny ...

Just 6 days trip so that I can only choose Rome and Venice, but it seems that I accidentally and selected by the way, these are two such different but equally interesting cities.

Have the opportunity, I might go to Italy, maybe, who knows.
