After leaving Munich, we took a train to Venice. It was one of the better train rides we have had trough the mountains, the scenery was great. Ramey lost track of the number of castles we saw, but it was a bunch. When we arrived in Venice we found a nice little hotel just across the Grand Canal from the train station.
It was really neat wandering around the city. With tinny narrow paths between buildings, very few street signs and canals everywhere it was a bit of a challenge to navigate. Luckily, we did not have too many problems. The next day we took a ferry ride down the Grand Canal to San Marco square.
The square was packed. There was more people there than anywhere else we have been. Combine all of the people with the narrow streets and it was very slow to get around.
After visiting the sights around the square we wandered through Venice back to our hotel, it took most of the afternoon, with stops for pizza and gelato. For dinner, we found a neat little restaurant with great pasta and good cheap wine.
The next day we took a early train to the port of Ancona, with just enough time to catch the ferry.
We only have about 30 minutes till we arrive in Patra and then a train ride to get to Athens this evening.
