Last stop - Venice





The last official stop of our holiday was Venice. Arriving in Venice was like stepping into some kind of surreal never-never land. It was quite unlike any other city that we had visited on our trip, which made it a nice way to finish up.

We stayed in a campsite on the mainland and had to catch a ferry across to the island. We spent two days exploring Venice’s enchanting labyrinth of laneways and canals. Aside from being extremely expensive and full of tourists, it was an amazing city with an incredible atmosphere.

We walked ourselves to the point exhaustion which, while tiring, was a satisfying way to finish up. We spent our last night at a quirky hostel so that we could soak up as much of the night time atmosphere as possible. It was very surreal that after months of planning and four months of travelling we were just about done.
