Excerpt 2
Day 4: Venice
Cut the chase and to the point, I'm just bringing out an incident I met that night in Venice.
Quiet streets, little alleys, romantic yes, but not good to get lost in the middle of the night. (Getting lost in Venice in the day is ok, I do that most of the time, can still find my way back eventually, not at night).
While crossing a bridge near the accomodation, a toddler from the family in front of us fell on the steps, it was rather dark so I didn't reali see what happened. But she was definitely wailing a minute after that fall.
Well, kids fall. Its common, nothing to worry, just comfort her and it will be fine. Or so everybody thought. Until she got up...
Her face was covered in blood. There wasn't anything jutting out from the steps of the bridge. Her clothes are bloodied, her mother's hands and the father was obviously shocked. Thankfully there was a nurse around who happen to be going in the same direction. The girl needed stitches.
Advice for travellers: Need a good map. The streets are all over the place and sometimes the locals even have to guess where it is at. San Marco didn't flood while we were there but it certainly looked like it was going to around the waterway near the Doge's Palace.
& lastly, train ur bladder. Toilets are difficult to find and there aren't many public toilets around.
