Woke up this morning to the sound of ridiculously loud bells 50 feet from our open window and already past check out time. Luckily we paid cash and nobody was coming to clean the severely dysfunctional room so we strolled out into the bright sun and stumbled for coffee. After grabbing our pay by the hour luggage we found a nice, clean functional room with wifi, AC and a shower for the same price as the B.S. hostel from last night. Finally, oh finally a shower. Sure it was too small to turn around in without touching every bit of the curtain and anyone suffering from claustrophobia would have seizured, but it was pretty wonderful anyway. By the time I was completely ready to go out the door Dad was in a deep nap.. so I got into napping clothes and slept for a bit too. Then we went out for a boat bus to St. Marco’s, had dinner, ice cream and a nice long slightly lost but very beautiful walk back to the hotel as it started to drizzle. Tomorrow it is supposedly going to rain and we’ve booked an overnight train to Vienna. Good thing we have ponchos and the hotel (right next to the train station) is letting us leave our bags here.
