00:00Good morning from Marini, Venice.

00:10We had an extremely long travel day.

00:12We flew from DFW to London Heathrow.

00:14We had like a five-hour layover,

00:16and thanks to Lauren's status,

00:18we got to sleep, and these nice little pod things,

00:20they like lifted your feet up,

00:22and then you put this thing around,

00:24and it was like nice and pitch black,

00:26so that was great.

00:27And then we flew into Venice.

00:28I drank all of the free champagne,

00:30had some sushi even,

00:32and Garrett just had nuts and bananas.

00:36Actually, Garrett had bananas pretty much the entire day.

00:40Getting from Venice Marco Polo Airport to Venice

00:43is actually super easy.

00:45They have these ATVO buses that run,

00:47I think about every half hour or hour.

00:49You just get a ticket from the airport,

00:51there's kiosks everywhere that say ATVO,

00:53and you hop on one of these buses,

00:55and they take you here.

00:56And so the benefit about our hotel

00:58is that it's actually right there.

01:02And that's super great because that means

01:03that we don't have to lug our suitcases over bridges.

01:06The streets are not super level.

01:08If you are staying at a hotel that's further away,

01:11they have public transport in the form of a boat.

01:14It's like a water metro,

01:16and you can get tickets right over there,

01:17right next to the bus station,

01:18and it will take you along the Grand Canal,

01:20and drop you off,

01:21and hopefully that will shorten your walk on the streets.

01:24So for dinner last night,

01:26we went to Dal Moro's pasta shop.

01:28We wanted something kind of quick and easy

01:29because we were feeling very jet-lagged.

01:31So we got some fresh pasta to go,

01:33and while we were in there,

01:34we kept seeing signs like,

01:35don't sit on the bridges and eat your pasta,

01:37obviously, because you're blocking people

01:39from getting where they need to go.

01:40So we kind of just walked around the city

01:42and ate our pasta,

01:43and it was really a great way to see the city

01:45and have a good evening.

01:46All of this was like 16 euros.

01:52Tight groins.

01:54First stop of any good day is always some coffee.

01:58We're going to go into this little coffee shop right here.

02:05Venice is basically a beautiful maze

02:07of narrow alleyways like this one.

02:09bridges, waterways.

02:12It's really easy to get lost,

02:14and normally we would just run around and explore,

02:16but today we are on a very pointed mission

02:18to check out some of the tourist highlights.

02:20You just like go through these little alleyways

02:22on these windy streets,

02:24and before you know it,

02:25you end up where you're at.

02:29We just entered the Doge's Palace

02:31off of St. Mark's Square,

02:33and we're about to go look around.

02:34But I'm not going to lie,

02:36I can't stop thinking of the Doge

02:38that's on the Doge names.

02:40Every time they call this the Doge's Palace.

02:48So we're walking around Doge's Palace.

02:50What I've gathered is that this was the Doge's Palace,

02:53aka the Duke of Venice,

02:55and he lived here,

02:56but also there was like where all these massive rooms

03:00that are gold-plated,

03:01and a lot of very cool paintings,

03:03but it was where like the Senate met,

03:04and they also had a courthouse here.

03:06And then there was a bridge of size

03:08that connected this palace to,

03:11I guess, the jails or the chambers

03:13where people were held before they were sentenced to death.

03:16And fun fact,

03:18the reason why they called it the Bridge of Sighs

03:20is because it was the last look of Venice,

03:22I guess basically before you were executed.

03:25So, sigh.

03:27There is St. Mark's Basilica.

03:36We were supposed to be in there at about 9 a.m. I think,

03:39but for some reason,

03:41when I bought the tickets,

03:42we never actually got the actual ticket code.

03:44So, yeah.

03:47I don't think Lauren's too happy with me

03:48because I was supposed to have this figured out,

03:50but it, you know,

03:52I don't know.

03:53And we don't speak Italian very well,

03:54so they're confused that we don't have our tickets.

03:56So, supposedly the guy's going to call his boss,

03:59and hopefully we'll get it going today.

04:01If not, we might just have to spend another 12 euro to go in,

04:04but it'll be okay.

04:06We'll figure it out.

04:07We're going to listen to a quick podcast from Rick Steves

04:09about St. Mark's Square.

04:15This is the clock tower in St. Mark's Square.

04:17At the very top is the winged lion,

04:19which is the symbol of St. Mark and Phoenix.

04:22Right beneath it is the world's first digital clock.

04:25It changes every five minutes.

04:27And then below it is your more traditional clock

04:30that you see a lot all over Europe,

04:32which includes the astrological clock,

04:34the zodiac clock,

04:36and the actual, you know,

04:38hours like we used to see them now.

04:41Great news!

04:42Our tickets came through.

04:43We are ready to go see St. Mark's Basilica.

04:45Let's go!

04:46So one of the really cool things about St. Mark's Basilica

04:49or Basilica di San Marco

04:51is the fact that it's a really unique blend

04:54of Eastern and Western architectural styles,

04:56but it's all mosaic tiles.

04:58So the floors, the ceiling, all mosaic.

05:01Also, it has kind of those domes that are similar

05:03to what you see on Architecture of a Mosque.

05:05All right.

05:06The sun is finally coming out.

05:08Ear pods are coming out.

05:10We've had just about enough Rick Steves for the day.

05:12We did his whole tour of St. Mark's Basilica

05:16and St. Mark's Square or Plaza de San Marco.

05:19And now we're ready to enjoy this beautiful weather

05:21on a patio with some coffee

05:24and hopefully some snacks.

05:26Now we're going to get some cecchetti from the Oisteria.

05:39Happy man with his vegetables.

05:42We just strolled through the Aqua Alta bookstore.

05:44It's this really neat bookstore here in Venice

05:46where all of the books are inside of gondolas and on crates,

05:49so that way the books don't get ruined during a flood.

05:53And there's two really cool photo spots in there

05:55that you don't want to miss.

05:56First is this gondola right here

05:58where you can actually take a picture inside of it.

06:00You don't have to pay the, like, 100 euro for a gondola ride.

06:05The other one's right up on top.

06:06They have a staircase made of books

06:08that you can stand on top of to get a good view.

06:10Pretty sweet.

06:15We're sitting outside on a patio at a Cafe Del Doe.

06:19Time to get some caffeine so we can keep powering.

06:25An Americano cappuccino.

06:30I know that it's from Haan to drink cappuccinos after,

06:33I think it's like 11,

06:35but honestly I'm easing myself back into European coffee culture

06:39and I'm not ready to slug espresso shots just yet.

06:45Headed back to the hotel and I saw a supermarket.

06:47The hotel is right over there, but just kind of wanted some snacks.

06:51Whatever gets him to drink Aperol spritzes and eat pasta with me,

06:55I'm down for.

06:57Meanwhile, I'm going to take a nap.

07:07We got all cleaned up.

07:09We're about to go get some aperitivo.

07:12We're going to go find some chichetti, which is like a Venetian tapa,

07:17small plates that you can kind of order usually with a cocktail.

07:21So maybe a spritz or a glass of Prosecco,

07:23which is also from the Venice region.

07:25And it's a beautiful night here, so we're going to enjoy it before we,

07:28I don't know.

07:29Fun fact about the spritz,

07:31its name is obviously not Italian.

07:34And I recently learned some research that I did before the trip,

07:37that it's actually German.

07:38So it does come from the Northern Italy region

07:41where there was German Austrian occupation of Italy

07:44and they thought the wine was too strong.

07:46So they watered it down with a splash or a spritz.

07:50And that's how we eventually got the spritz.

07:56Cheers.

07:57All right, onto the next one.

08:07And we're going to get some food at this one.

08:09So yeah, we need some food.

08:11It's going to, we're really hungry.

08:13And we're really excited to try some more local cuisine.

08:17Chichetti.

08:22Garrett is now a fan.

08:24We're trying to find where to go eat dinner later,

08:26but it's Monday, so everything closes early.

08:28But I found, hear me out Lauren,

08:30I found a smoothie bar that's open until midnight.

08:35And they have yogurt bowls.

08:37So might work.

08:38No.

08:39So Garrett went in to get one spritz and one Prosecco

08:41and somehow left with two spritzes and a Prosecco.

08:43But it was all what?

08:46That two sandwiches was 12 euros.

08:51Pretty good deal.

08:52We have an arancini with broccoli and something else that I don't know what it is.

08:58It smells good.

08:59I'm excited.

09:08It's good.

09:09I might be beloved of this.

09:15One more stop.

09:17We forgot it's a Monday and everything's close.

09:19We're going to get some McDonald's.

09:21What does she eat?

09:23I'm ashamed.

09:27The final stop is the evening.

09:29It wasn't what we planned, but it's honestly packed in here, so.

09:33Popular spot.

09:34Yeah.

09:35Couldn't figure out what we wanted, so we just started walking around

09:38and next thing you know we ended up at McDonald's.

09:40We didn't even eat McDonald's at home.

09:42Yeah.

09:43This is probably the first chicken nugget I've had in a long time.

09:47I got my, uh, another banana.

09:48I don't know if my banana counts up to, but probably like six since we've been here.

10:04I just keep seeing all these fresh fruit stands, so you gotta eat your bananas.

10:24We got our touristy pics of the Rialto Bridge, but it's pretty crowded over here.

10:30A lot of tourists, so I think we're going to keep moving.

10:34We are spending the last part of the morning kind of walking around, uh, get some coffee

10:41and just enjoying the city one last time before we board a train and head to Florence.

10:46But I added to our list this place called Fulala.

10:49It's like a smoothie bar and they have a yogurt bowls and things like that.

10:53So we are about to grab a smoothie.

10:59An interesting thing here when you're walking through Venice, you'll see everyone has carts.

11:03Um, so you have to walk a lot of places here, obviously, to get food and produce and buy things.

11:07So everyone has these, uh, carts that they put all their food and things in.

11:13Um, and we actually saw this interesting thing.

11:16Some people have three-wheeled carts and when they pull them up the stairs, the wheels rotate

11:21so they can go up and down the stairs much easier, which is a pretty cool concept.

11:25Amazon Prime in Venice.

11:27Cannot be easy.

11:29It's Pigeon trying to race.

11:31He knows he's going to lose so he's off to the side now.

11:34Pulling ahead, Pigeon.

11:36He was keeping up for a while.

11:38You've got to get the workouts in when you can, so I decided to farmers carry Lauren's bag all the way from the hotel here.

12:00It's probably not that far.

12:02It probably took like, I don't know, seven minutes max.

12:05But, uh, it was kind of fun.

12:06People looked at me weird, but, uh, you gotta do what you gotta do.

12:09Spring and fall are the times in Europe when I'm sweating in a short-sleeved t-shirt and most of the people in Europe are still wearing parkas and scarves.

12:18And they're looking at me like I'm crazy.

12:20And I'm looking at them like they're crazy.

12:23But, the weather is absolutely beautiful.

12:26I don't know how these people are doing in all these layers, but it feels great.

12:29That one's up.

12:32It's so early there's not a platform yet.

12:42That's us!

12:43We got a red train.

12:45It's gonna go fast.

12:46We're a tour.

12:48I think we're taking more than our fair share of overhead bin space.

12:55I don't think all of these other passengers would.

12:58This is home for the next two hours.

13:00And then we'll be on farts.

13:03Oh, we're actually over here.

13:05Alright.
