Venice the supposed romantic capital of Italy...NOT. This is perhaps the worst city in all of Italy. I mean if you' ve seen one creek, you've seen them all. The Venetians are also the most arrogant of all people, guys you live on a man made island that's sinking. Besides St. Marks square, and of course those river rafts floating on that green water, can anyone name something about Venice? NO. There is absolutely no reason to come to this place.
The food is overpriced and horrible. Florian cafe, in St.Marks square do not go there. You pay an extra 6 euro to have the privilege to listen to a high school quartet try and play a scale. And whatever you do, do not order food. You will get two pieces of soggy toast with some kind of spread left from the crusades, topped with turkey breast straight from the supermarket. The sandwich at some time was microwaved (the sogginess). But now serves cold, nothing better than cold melted cheese, right?
The Doges palace as any ancient building has some beautiful works of art. But honestly, more spectacular buildings can be found elsewhere. St.Marks byzantine church is beautiful. If you can get past the arrogant bastards who think they are guarding all of antiquity. Not worth the lines to get in.
But see for yourself.
Enjoy.

Venice Sucks.

Rhodes, Greece
Today we are on the Isle of Rhodes, home of the ancient wonder the #Collossus. We decided to hit the beach and forego and excursions. 84 degrees and a cool breeze blowin. Now this is what a vacation is about. Relaxing beautiful beaches. Clear blue ocean. Rocky beaches though. It makes walking a little hard. The water is a perfect temperature.
Trying to get past all of the hawkers though. Very annoying. Just ignore them and they usually go away, but make sure you leave nothing available to grab.
Lots of middle ages boobs walking around too. Not quite as many as Mykonos, but still a few. a true international festival on the beach. Come early, get an unberella.

ARSENIS TAVERN ATHENS. We picked up a cab outside the terminal,first we were going to the #Acropolis, then talking to the cab driver he offered to drive us around for 30euro an hour and give us a guides tour. About half what it would cost on a full tour group. Clean cab private tour and he took us to this place. Do it again Best food in Athens and cheap
