Throwback to Venice

I remember when we were back in Venice, we didn't plan our trip based on the tide. High tide in Venice will flood some walkways and we didn't know about that until we landed on the island.

We avoid going out early and always return to our accommodation before ten or else we may be stuck somewhere. They would lay out the wooden plank to make a walkway for the pedestrians but the way I see it is that it is rather dangerous. The only time we used the wooden plank was the day we took a train to Florence. Many of the tourists bought the rubber boots just to walk easily when it was flooded, but we don't have a budget for that, we can only work with our schedule.

There we had one of our most expensive meals, but the quality was just okay. Also he insisted to return for a liquor we saw the night before, so after we reached the train station on our last day, he took his way back to the store alone as we didn't want to carry all our baggage through the wooden plank anymore.

It was such a big challenge for him since he gets lost easily, but he made it with only the verbal instructions I gave. Big applause for him?
