Visiting Venice

Venice was kind of disappointing. sure it had the canals, the gondolas, the old buildings, etc. But it felt like it was nothing new, having seen it all on movies. Besides, Venice is a city of romance and since I was on my own that aspect was wasted on me. Also, I have seen lots of grafitti around Europe, but I never thought I would see it on the actual islands of Venice, thats like tagging a monument or memorial. An interesting aside, bus tickets are valid on the boats, as the the only way to get around the city of Venice. I didn't end up going out in Venice for 2 reasons. A, I was damn tired and B, I could find anywhere to go! The part of town where I was staying was basically dead.
