Just got back from the laundrymat. Everything around me is still swaying even though I am on solid ground. I like the concept of waterbuses but I don't think I'll ever get use to it.
One thing you need to know about Venice is that Venice is ridiculously unreal.
Venice has CGI water...honestly. Water cannot look that good. On top of that, every where you look is an instant photo op. Everytime you round a corner, you see a canal with bridges and boats zooming past each other with a gorgeous backdrop of Venician churches and buildings. Venice is just that good. It's ridiculous.
Yesteday, I sat outside the hostel by the water to read a book. Picture this...picture yourself gazing at the island of Venice, the sky a mystery of colors. Red, pink, purple, orange, yellow and brown all mixed together to give the picture perfect landscape. The sun melting into the horizon. A gondola passing by right when the sun kisses the water. The marble churches glistening in the horizon...it was spectacular. Just ridiculous.
Another thing about Venice is that it has scrambled our brains a bit...for instance...
As Shivani stepped outside the hostel, she went "wow... so watery"
Then, later, as we were waiting for the vaporetto #2 to arrive, Shivani went: "I like the breeze. It's so breezy." Then we proceeded to eat candy, braid each others' hair and sing 'I want candy." We are such children.
...Then later in the evening, after dinner. some guys asked us to celebrate a bachelor party with them by waxing the poor bachelor's chest...awesome. Unfortunately, we were not women enough to say yes...There was also a random incident where 2 guys asked us to go with them to a shady alley to a party...
And then, when Mei woke up this morning, she found her towel, one of her sandals and one of my flipflops in a shower stall... 8 wine bottles + 6 ppl = the Hangover, in Venice... Enough said.
Venice was fun.
...ridiculous...
