Most of today was spent inside our tour bus, taking us from Rome in the morning to Venice in the evening. I didn't really count how many hours we had spent on the road as I was busy playing "Lost In Blue" on my DSLite (hubby's DSLite actually but whatever his is mine~) :p Hubby said it was about 8 hours, including 2 toilet breaks we had along the highway, so I think we arrived in Venice almost 5pm and went straight for the optional Gondola ride. 
This time the gondola ride took through some back canals of Venice not usually shown to the average tourists and we got to see how the Venetians live in their habitats on water. We even got to see how they hang their clothes out to dry like in this picture! Suddenly Venice was not romantic anymore... I was glad we weren't on our honeymoon trip, I would be so disappointed with the ride. Two other couples in our tour group were on their honeymoons and they shared a special "Love Boat" with 2 Italian artistes who sang and played some love songs for them. They sang so loudly that all other tour members like us in the other gondolas could hear, so I really didn't think the "Love Boat" was any special.
After the ride, we were transported to a charming little hotel which was outside of Venice. No bathtub, just a small shower unit. Dinner was served in the hotel and at night there was absolutely nowhere to go...
