8/19/2013 - Venice, Italy
I got lost a few times on my way to my hostel in Venice. I ended up taking a detour to the wrong island, which set me back for about 2 hours. Except for shopkeepers, there was nobody to ask directions from. It seems like everyone in Venice is a tourist.
Getting lost wasn't really a big problem: I pack pretty light, and Venice is a great city to get lost in. The old streets, buildings, and canals make for a fun maze. Before arriving, I didn't realize the extent to which it was a collection of islands, with no cars or even bicycles. When eventually I gave up and called a taxi, it was a boat that I called, not a car.
