Crazy floating citys are cool!!!

Well after waking up in Milan there was not enough time to go see sights so we headed down to the train station.  We waited at the station for an hour or 2 and just hung around and read books(Adam and I are expert book readers now!  Mom's should be proud).  Well, after a few hours on a train that was 50 minutes late(trains are allways late in Italy)we arrived in Venice.  We hopped off the train and found ourselves lost in a new city as usual.  The train had dropped us off right on the floating city and apparently our campsite was on the otherside of a bridge the connects floating venice to non floating venice.  On top of this our directions were horribly wrong so we had to wait in line to talk to the tourist info.  Soon we had directions for the bus and we were on our way.  The bus dropped us off at some random stop and we started searching for the campsite with some other travellers that we had met on the bus.  After 30 minutes of walking in the very warm weather and being drenched in sweat we found the campsite.  We got to live in a quite small 2 man tent with some nice beds and after unpacking we jumped in the camp pool.  After a refreshing swim and a bit of pingpong we bought some dinner at the market aswell as some whiskey!  We had a few drinks and headed to the campsite Discotec bar, on the way we met up with a spanish guy that we had met on the bus.  Well after sitting in the discotec for 10 minutes we realize it was horrible and we peaced the scene.  We ended up just hanging out on a patio outside the campsite resturaunt and having a nice chat.  We also met 2 brits called James Applegarth and Nick Dawsey also know as heterosexual lifemates appledawes.  After chatting for a while we decided to head to bed since we wanted to explore Venice the next day.

We woke up the next morning in the warmest tent I have ever been in.  The sun rose every morning and roasted the tent until we woke up, not to pleasant but oh well.  We arose and scarfed down some food then hopped on the bus.  After a nice bus ride we arrived in Venice, we figured the best way to see Venice was just to wander around and not spend any money because Venice is super expensive.  Walking around Venice is amazing, the whole city is very beutiful and even if you get lost(which we did a lot) you seem to find super cool and interesting things.  We went to some nice churches and to the St. Marco sqaure.  St. Marco sqaure is definatly the biggest amount of pidgeons ive ever seen in one place.  Those dum rats with wings are everywhere and there are vendors that sell seeds so you can hand feed them.  Some people had seeds in there hair so pidgeons would land on their heads!  We found this a bid gross because pidgeons poop a lot.  Well we wandered around some more and took a lot of cool photos, and got some gellato!  BEST ICECREAM EVER, we got some after eight ice cream that was amazing, as well as a slice of true italian pizza.  SOO GOOD!  We had spent a few hours in the city and decided it was time to go back, have a swim in the pool and have a few drinks with the brits.  The swimming was nice, but the drinking was insane!  For me at least, we both drank a little whiskey and sat at the patio again.  We ran into a few folks and just hungout, I can not remember most of the folks from this night due to the "little" amount of whisky I drank.  All in all I'm sure I had a fun night.  The next morning I woke up feeling suprisingly well, for the first half hour at least.  Then my fun began, the number of visits to the toilet were exceptionly high.  We had arranged to travel to Verona with the brits James and Nick, and we met another brit named alyx and a japanese girl that lived in seattle.  We headed to the train station by bus and hopped on the train to Verona which took about 1.5 hours, of course I was puking the whole way.  Verona is actually a very beutiful city and it has a collusium that is not as big as the one in Rome but it is better preserved.  They still have concerts in the collusium and Muse was playing that night.  Unfortunatly we dont have the budget to buy tickets from scalpers so we had to pass on the concert and we headed on down the road to the building were Romeo and Juliet is based.  The little garded was packed with tourists like ourselves but we managed to snap a few pictures with the Juliet statue who is in the little square.  One of her boobs is almost rubbed off because apparently its normal for everyone to get a picture holding her boob.  We did a bit more then hold her boob and it may have disturbed some people around us or give them a nice laugh.  The pictures we have will explain it all.  We finished off with Juliet and roamed Verona a bit more(i was still quite hungover and had a few more uphurls!).  A few hours in Verona and we hopped back on the train to Venice in hope of getting some time in the pool.  We got back and stopped for some take out pizza and spagetti, it was delicious!  When we got back to the campsite the pool was closed to our dismay so we had to jump in the showers to cool ourselves down.  Soon we were all clean,refreshed,not hungover any more and ready for some more drinks.  This time there were loads of people on the party patio and we had a grand party of our own.  Lots of good chatting, funny pictures, and a game of strip poker made the night very interesting.  We partyed for a while and may have been a bit to loud for the evening campsite patrollers.  We were told to hush.  We partyed a bit more silently but still had a grand time with random naked people about.  Some people had drank a bit much and the buddy system came into affect.  After some people vomiting and such we all headed to bed sometime during the night.  The next day everyone seemed to have to catch the train to somewhere else and Adam and I had a 2 o'clock train to Florence.  We headed to the train station slowly and in good spirits.  We made it to the train station with ease and jumped on the train.
