Today we drove to Venice! It wasn’t that bad of a drive. I got to watch the big lebousiky. However, we did stop at a very bad sandwich shop. Other than that, it was an uneventful day.
We found out that we were staying in a city just outside of Venice called Pad ova. It is a very nice city and there looks like there is a ton to do. I think though, once again, everyone is very disappointed that we are not actually staying inside the city. The train is going to cost 5 euros each way too.
We got to the hotel around seven and had our welcome dinner at eight. It was a mediocre dinner or salad (with a very strong dressing), chicken, potatoes, and spinach. Then a desert that I think may have just been straight brandy. After dinner, I went back to the room to shower. We were too tired to go out, so everyone stayed in the mezzanine area of the hotel to play card games. I played Egyptian rat-screw, signs, spoons, and golf. It was overall a very relaxing evening and I welcomed the early bedtime!
