Some shopping in France was to be had... found some great shoes and a few other items of clothing. They really like their "sailor" themed things in France and everything was striped with anchors, etc. Interesting, but I embraced it fully. Ha.
I think we ate sandwiches (super delicious sandwiches on freshly baked baguettes... mmm) just about every single day. They were cheap and tasty, so why not? We could not get enough of them! I must say, after such a great start in Spain, we weren't in love with France when we arrived but we definitely warmed up to it and had a fantastic time. Saw some great stuff and did a whole lot of walking around the city.
At dinner our last night, I got pasta with some thin slice of breaded meat. No idea what it was. I was expecting fish, but it definitely wasn't fish. Our best guess was some kind of pork, so I'm going with that. It was good, anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Packed up our stuff and rested up for an early-morning flight to Italy!
Venice Marco Polo airport was the best foreign airport arrival we've had, by far. Easy transport to the hotel and had no trouble getting there. The receptionist at the hotel, on the other hand... well, let's just say it didn't take long before we were hating on her. Damn Alessandra. Ugh. lol
Alessandra's first offense? Being stupid. Clare's phone wasn't working and she needed to email her mom to say we got there safe and sound so we ask Alessandra if there is an internet cafe nearby... no. Not her fault. Is there wifi/internet available at the hotel? Yes, but you have to pay to use the cable. Ok, except Clare has a phone and an ethernet cable won't plug into a cellphone, which we have shown Alessandra but she brings us the cord anyway. Stupid. Not going to work, but thanks. Alessandra, is there a public computer in the hotel that guests may use? No.... awesome, ok. So we walked around the corner to the elevator and what do we see at the end of the hall? A public computer with hotel guests on it... Seriously, Alessandra? So stupid. And no, it wasn't because she didn't understand our English, trust me. The internet was 3Euro for 30minutes, which is ridiculous. Thankfully, Clare's phone picked up the signal just before she paid... stupid Alessandra.
