Venice - The Living Maze

After two and a half days, we still can’t find out way around. We’ve got a good map. We can find our location on said map. Choose destination, start walking and presto, we are lost again.

I feel like I’m vacationing in The Labyrinth. All I need to do is run into David Bowie. It sure feels like the bridges and alleys change as we walk them.

And yet, it is beautiful. Every alley leads somewhere interesting. After nearly every twist and turn the small (like less than 3′ wide) alles open to small campos, ancored at one corner by a multi-hundred-year-old church. It really is quite fantastic.

Except when you are trying to get somewhere. Just as we are getting ready to leave, we might get the hang of it. We’ll see if we can find our way to the train tomorrow.

Ciao.
