After a long sleepless train ride from Rome we arrived in Venice at 5:30 a.m! When we arrived Shane's brother Dennison picked us up at the train station and took us to their bed and breakfast so we could shower and get ready for the day. As we were leaving, we had a very unexpected encounter with the owner of the bed and breakfast. We cordially waved and smiled at her, only to be greeted by a ferocious italian temper. "I do not know you! Who are you in my house! You come into my house and I not know you!" . Shane diplomatically handled the situation with a reply " We didn't stay the night we just stopped by to visit Mr Harris and his family and get our bags from them". She responded "Yes, I hear you come in this morning! Mr Harris is a very very bad man for what he do! GET OUT NOW!" Haha she then proceed to literally lock us out and not let us come back in. Luckily we were able to send the keys back up with our 4 year old nephew Jude; she knew him, so she let him back in... Apparently she gave Dennison and Robin quite the earful when they came down later that morning. We learned by sad experience that you cannot have visitors in an Italian bed and breakfast. If you are looking for a wild time, we dare you to just go ahead and try.
After a rough start, we actually had a very nice day in Venice!
The canals and gondolas were amazing!
We loved Venice!
