Yay for Rotary trips! This past weekend was a short but amazing time in Venice, via Austria. Friday morning I left Trutnov at 8 a.m. and took the bus to Tabor, which is in the south part of the country. There, everyone congregated and we got on our charter bus at 4:00. We drove. Our longest stop was in Salzburg, Austria, for an hour, but we drove through the night. When I woke up on Saturday morning (yes, I managed to sleep), we were sitting in a parking lot near Venice. The city doesn't until 6 in the morning, so the locals can sleep. We drove to a closer parking lot, then walked to the center of the city. It was like walking into a fairy tale city, with all of the gondolas, canals, masks, and REAL Italian food. We had most of the day as free time, so I ate, took pictures, shopped for a mask, went into a museum, and soaked up the atmosphere. It certainly wasn't enough time, but we all met back in the main square at 6 and took a water taxi back to the bus. Most people slept almost the entire way back (10 hours) because we were so tired, and we pulled back into Tabor at 7am on Sunday. I also explored the center of that city more as I waited for my bus.
Please look at my photobucket for all 180 pictures. It also has more from Easter and other activities. I keep it updated!!
