From there, I really wanted to find Hard Rock Venice, so we asked someone local and he rather than giving directions, walked us right there. We looked around Hard Rock for a little bit, I bought a shirt and then we moved on from there. We decided on taking a gondola because we were in Venice, so why wouldn’t we? Though they’re RIDICULOUSLY expensive, they’re so worth it. The views are beautiful and once you’re out in the canal it’s more peaceful away from all the tourists. Our gondolier was very sweet and gave us a little tour and told us about how he became a gondolier. He was very charming and made the experience even better. When we finished with our gondola ride, we headed back toward the main land where we were staying. It was a sad goodbye for me because I grew to love the city so much in the past two days, but I hope to be back again some day. Tomorrow morning we have a train back to Rome and then I’ll be back to my normal schedule. This weekend was definitely a lovely little trip and I’m so glad we took it. Until tomorrow–arrivederci!
