Day Seventy

Day Seventy - May 24th, 2009

Venice, Italy

Today we switched countries and swindled another hotel.

After an exhausting overnight ride from Germany we have finally arrived in Venice. We got here shortly after 6:00am and it was already hot as hell. We aren't used to this kind of weather. It is so hot that if I want to clean my glasses I can't breathe on them to fog them up. No condensation appears. Useless, I have resorted to licking them or running them under taps.

We have managed to convince another hotel that there are far fewer people staying in our room than there actually is. Part of me feels guilty, but at the same time I feel very little remorse, because we are poor and we aren't inconveniencing them in the slightest.

After finding a hotel, we got cleaned up and set out to explore a bit of the city. We walked down confusing alley ways and over many canals until we got to St Marco Square. It was a pretty beautiful place, but it was super hot and there were thousands of tourists around, so we ducked out of there pretty fast and made our way back to our hotel.

The heat is taking its tole on Jill. She is really tired and seems to be dizzy all the time. Hoping she gets better soon.
