VENICE
AHHHHH!!!!!!! :) Ok so Friday I went to Budapest meet up with everyone going to Venice for the weekend. I got there about an hour early so I got to see some of the City again. It is so beautiful and I love it! When I was waiting in the lobby of the mall in Budapest, some girls came up to me. They were Hungarian and recognized me because they go to my school. We talked and they were also going to Venice. We found everyone else and loaded the bus. I sat next to one of the girls that I just met and we spoke Hungarian together for a while, although I do not know how much I understood! At about 4 or 5 we arrived to Lake Balaton on the western side of Hungary. The lake was very beautiful and I hope I visit it during the summer when it is not so cold! Then we went to a restaurant and had dinner before loading the bus and heading to Italy! I stepped into the ground of the third country I have every been in at about 8 in the morning! We took a motor boat into the city and it was awesome! They used this boat like a 'bus' transportation system and so people were going to and from work on it! Once we arrived in the Saint Mark’s Square we were told we could do what ever we wanted and to meet back here at 6:30! So with my new 6 or 7 Hungarian friends and an exchange student from Germany walked the city! I am in love the with architecture and the old buildings! The statues and sea was so beautiful too! When you are in Venice you walk in-between the buildings which are not very far part. You often walk on bridges because the water is flowing in canals through the city! There are bakeries, clothing stores, souvenir shops, mask shops, art shops, restaurants, and tons more kinds of stores! Every inch of the food shops where filled with sweets, chocolates and fresh baked goods! The most common thing I saw was beautiful masks, that they were for the Carnival that is in February! For lunch we stopped at a restaurant where I had my first 'real' Italian pizza! It had a very thin crust but was very good! Also they put olive-oil on the top and it makes it taste delicious! Then we went to a part of the city call Rialto and this was my favorite part of the trip! I got to bee surrounded by the old, beautiful buildings, while being a part of the culture here! There was an open air market where fresh vegetables, fruit and fish were being sold! I loved seeing how the same food changes from place to place, because the grapes here were very big!! The fish was beautiful, and kind of scary at the same time! A lot of the fish were still alive and moving around!! Then we went to a bakery and got some sweets! I do not know how to describe it other than absolutely AMAZING! Before we left I also got some gelato and man it was good! My day was absolutely amazing and Venice was beautiful! I do not think that I stopped smiling the whole day! We had a long bus ride home but safely arrived back into Debrecen around 9 Sunday morning.
