Today we had a late start as the weather is so hot during the days and the days go until 9pm anyway so everything is still open. We first went to the glass blowing island Venice. We watched a demonstration of glass blowing there for €3. It was very interesting to watch and amazing to see the things they made from a blob of hot glass. They first made a jug with a handle and then a horse. At the end of the show one guy blew a bubble with the glass he kept blowing...

Today we strolled through the streets of Venice. The heat here was nearly unbearable, it's the hottest place we have been yet as you can't escape the heat by going for a swim like we did in San Sebastian, Ibiza and Nice. The only thing you can do is go back to the airconditioned rooms. Our hostel is central on the island of Venice so we don't have to catch any public transport through the day. It was a little more expensive but well worth it as a ferry one way is...

Transition day... Today we leave Nice and catch 3 trains to Venice. Our first train leaves at 1:30pm and we arrive in Venice at 10:30pm.

The air conditioning didn't work well at all, you could barely feel it and cause it was an airconditioned train it had very few windows. We were in a six seater compartment with a wee window at the top. It was just the thre...

Today we woke early to hire bikes for the day. It was €15 and we had them till 7pm. We strapped our bags to our bike and then rode along the promenade. After 5 minutes of riding Clint had a flat tyre, so we had to ride back to get it pumped up. Now we were set for the day, well that's what we thought. After Clint got back we rode another 10 minutes and realised that we forgot to get chains to lock our bikes up once we got to the beach so I rode back and got cha...

Today we did a day trip to Monaco. We caught a train there from Nice, it took about 20minutes. When we got there we went to a pizza restaurant and had the best tasting pizza ever. We then walked to Princes De Monaco (historical destination at the top of a hill). The views from up there were really nice. We headed down the other side and walked along the marina and looked at some more luxurious boats before heading to the casino. We didn't go into the casino we ju...
