Italy: Venice in 30 minutes or your money back

So about 9 people got sick from the food in Croatia. I was not one of them. That's a good thing.

Here's how our day in Italy went: We drove through to Venice and discovered that the place we were sent was not anywhere near S. Marco's Plaza (which is what you must see in Venice). We waited on a taxi boat, because Venice is a bunch of Islands, and had 30 minutes to see San Marco's before we had to catch the taxi boat back. I waited in line to see the Cathedral, was informed that you couldn't take bags in the cathedral, and by the time I found where you check your bags and made my way back, all my friends were out of the Cathedral. So I ate a Panini instead.

We continued to Vicenza where we sang two nights ago. The city is beautiful and lively, and as a special added bonus, the kids from HUF got up here. Some of them who were Chorus members sang the concert with us, and we all sang and laughed and had a good time. Afterward, we were given free time to see the city. So I ate some Gelato.

We drove through the most beautiful countryside ever to Zürich, Switzerland, where we are now. We have the morning and afternoon off, but because today is Pentecost the only thing open are the shops and restaurants in the Hauptbonhof (bus station). Tonight, we sing somewhere and tomorrow, we get a guided tour of Zürich before moving on to other things.

Coming up: The rest of Switzerland.
