Our time in Venice has come to an end. What a fun experience. Venice is like being in an alternate reality. It makes me imagine what life would be like if we had no continents. Just a bunch of developed islands linked together by boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had to get out early to make our plane. This is our first\/last sunrise in Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We actually flew over Venice. This is a really good overview of what Venice and the surrounding islands look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made it to London!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So glad we came here. Everything looks like it did in the Harry Potter movies.<\/p>\n\n\n

Which way do we go?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Getting our subway (“underground”) pass was a bit of a snafu. We ordered two passes in the machine, but only one came out. This was a total Brazil movie moment if I’ve ever seen one \ud83d\ude42 I talked to a guy who walkie-talkie’d a women who came out from the machinery of the place with a smile and work overalls. She went up to the machine and hit it hard in hopes the ticket would pop out. No luck. So she went back through a service door and we could hear her fumbling around in the mechanisms behind the machine. “Bash. Crash” and a ticket popped out. We exchanged our appreciations through the little slot on the ticket dispenser, problem solved. Moving on… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just down the street (in Hyde Park) is a really large Christmas festival. More pictures to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had lots to figure out tonight. Most importantly, “Where can we get groceries?” .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
