We already booked a room at a B&B that had decent reviews on TripAdvisor. The hotel told us to take the ferry to the Fontanette stop and, because it's impossible to give directions in Venice, they would meet us to guide us to the hotel.
Well, we had some ferry challenges (mamacita - speaking Italian didn't help, it is still a confusing system) and wound up in the other side of the island bear Piazza San Marco. They came to us anyway and thank God! Our guide was this little tiny woman (makes Megan look tall) and she walked super fast. We were winding through the passages so fast, left, right, through a tunnel, over a bridge and on and on. 12 minutes later we arrived at a dead end into water with a little diving board, on the left was a door and two flughts up was our 'hotel'. It is really the guides apartment with three rooms (one is hers) and one bathroom/shower to share. Already the bathroom is busier than Termini. (according to Fab)
We found dinner nearby around 9:30p. It was good but the desserts were the best. I had a marmalade cake with chocolate chips and lemon sauce (think super moist carrot cake) and Chris had Chocolate Gelato plopped in a warm shot if espresso. Delicioso. Our waitress was interesting, provided great conversation ;)
Again, I have pics but not on this phone :(
Now we sleep. Tomorrow La Fenice, Bascilica San Marco e Murano.
