Memories~ Jun ~ Chaiko~: Italy Trip~ Day 2

a great sleep for all of us as we get the comfort of staying in the only hotel in this trip. i was one of the last to wake up for breakfast cos i forgot to set my watch 1 hour infront.

Italy - GMT +01:00

anyways, breakfast was free of charge n included in the hotel charge. As hungry boys, we ate till they ran out of food. we also managed to sneakily take some biscuits along with us as well..

this is our last day in venice as we plan to catch a train to cinque terra later today. this trip seems to unfold itself as we plan to travel at the same time, which is quite an experience.

Went to the train station to store our luggages so we wont have to carry them while sightseeing. This means unpacking n repacking our stuff into the big backpacks so we can save money for storage.. students we are!

Visited Piazza San Marco, Basillica San Marco, Ponte Rialto (Rialto Bridge) again as we made our way to Doge's Palace. Awed at the great architecture work.. we spent around 3 hours there before leaving for food and back to the train station to buy our tickets to cinque terra!

the train ride was another unpacking n repacking session as we split the things in the backpacks into seperate bags so the load will be evenly distributed. plans of accomodation for tonight was the big issue on the train ride.

Plan A - stay in the streets as we dont have any accomodation booked.

Plan B - find a hotel/hostel to stay in.

we opted for plan A as it reaps great experience. uni life is about having crazy experiences isnt it? haha dont think i will ever sleep in a train station ever again if my family members find out! the free accomodation in the train station waiting room was real uncomfortable.. but what can u say.. we tried to save 18 euros! its freezing cold all night with the wind blowing into the room at like top speed (okay maybe i was just exaggerating but it felt like that).

there came a point in the night when i was just thinking to myself.. hmm. why is the time going by so slowly? i want to just get to the train n go to cinque terra! at least the train ride is going to be warm! anyways, survived a night in the blistering cold waiting room of italy! something i can write in my book as one of a hell of an experience!
