Vienna
29 Aug 2005 - We took the EC train from Praha hl.n to Vienna's Wien Sudbahnhof and spent the afternoon in Vienna while waiting in transit for our overnight train to Venice.

Venice
30 Aug 2005 - Checked into Albergo Marin Hotel in Venice which was run by this friendly man in his 40s perhaps. Venice is very touristy and feels a little unreal like we're in some sort of setting for a play or something. But its nice to walk along bridges and have gondolas go past in the waters below you. Oh and the gelatos. Nice.

Gondolas
On board the ferry to Murano and Burano, two lagoons off Venice which proved equally touristy.

Rome
4 Sep 05 - Took another Intercity Train on the same day out of Pisa Centrale to Roma Termini and checked into Freedom Traveller Hostel. I liked Rome for its rich history and all its piazzas.
