2007 - Post-Graduation Mediterranean - Day 27

Day 27:

- Went in bike tunned even after knowing shouldn't. Hotel filled with Chinese (owner is Chinese).
- The Chinese refusing to pay the full amount for "burn" in room. Got free breakfast. Chinese plates and was Chinese food at night.
- Train to Venice across bridge. See in distance. Met another Portugese when Andre look for lost waterbottle.
- Wandered to outskirts of Ghetto. Saw Realto and San. Marco. Went up the tower. Great view, can see all the islands (but can't see canals).
- Went in cathederal. Great mosaic gold tiles on ceiling. The St. Mark's altarpiece was huge and completely studded and filled with gems.
- Went to palace. Very tired. Rape of Europa... wasn't sure we saw it since we were expecting more. Not so impressive. Wish know significance. The large meeting room very impressive. Paintings (the black rag), decorations and reliefs. Size and the largest canvas painting very impressive. The bridge to prison cool with 2 sides.
- Prison closest thing to what I imagined a dungeon to be.
- Delicious lasagna.
- Andre crashed. I washed some, shower, read new book (Romania) and write. Try to meet Chinese in lobby but only employees left.
- Then I fell asleep and didn't hear Andre's shower. Woke up, Andre awake due to jet lag.
