Venice

We spent 3 days in Venice wandering around getting lost and exploring every nook and cranny.
Don was inspired by Carpaccio, Titian, and Bellini. We went in every church we could much to Austin's dismay. Venice must have a couple of hundred churches.
We discovered the way to eat breakfast is standing up drinking espresso and eating a pizzatte. Lunch was salad, fruit, sliced proscuitto and breasola from the supermarket. Oh and a 3 euro bottle of wine, good wine. The most difficult thing to find there was a cork screw that worked. We left all our tools and knives in the bike boxes at the airport while we stayed in Venice.
Not a whole lot of info or awareness about fair trade organic coffee but that's to be expected in this tourist town. I tried to ask but my Italian wasn't clear enough and their patience was non existant. Not a friendly bunch but if I had to deal with all these tourist all the time maybe I'd be grummpy too. It is only mid May the city was packed with people. The weather was bright and sunny which didn't make for good morning or sunset shots.
So in short, Venice is a must see but maybe 3 days is a little too long...
After India and Sumatra, it seems too clean and lacking in culture, imagine that.
