Venitia, Italia

We spent a pricey 2 days in Venice. The price to ride one of these gondolas? 80 euro (110 US) for a 30-40min ride. So of course we got two!


Venice is sinking. Supposedly they are trying to do something to stop the increasing water levels (dam, helium balloons, etc.). Many buildings can no longer use their ground floors. This place used to have a yard, a kids swing set and a dog. All are now underwater.

Cost to pee in Venice? 1 euro (1.35 dollars). Even the restaurants charge you to use their precious facilities. Cost to pee in the canal? Zero if you don't get caught.

San Marco square. Here is where you go in Venice to drink overpriced coffee, feed the birds and take photos of churches. This kid is grimacing because of what the birds just did on his shoulders.
