After our long day of hiking the Cinque Terre, our adventure continued with a short visit to Pisa to see: The Tower!!! Other than that monument, there isn't very much in the city so of course, we spent the day visiting the cathedral and taking the obligatory cheesy tourist pictures. Although they aren't perfect, here you go: While in Venice, we started the day off right with an absolutely amazing gondola ride! In addition to getting to ride around the city in their "streets", we also were able to hear a little bit of singing from our gondolier, Fabio! Following our gondola ride, we then proceeded to get a little lost trying to find the main plaza (Venice is confusing!!!) and then eventually found what we were looking for. Then we went to see Doge's Palace which was the stronghold of the empire for hundreds of years. The palace was amazing on the inside, full of ballrooms, the "golden staircase", and hundreds of painted ceilings showcasing the amazing artists of Italy.
Day 2 was spent exploring some museums and some cathedrals, and making sure we ended our Italian adventure in a good way. We enjoyed walking around and admiring the souvenirs, finding a Disney store, and watching some birds fight over some bread (we're weird people). We enjoyed our relaxing day before making it to the airport for our flight to London.
