Day 13: Florence, Italy ----> Venice, Italy ----> Florence, Italy

Instead of spending another day in Florence, and looking to use a leftover days worth of EuroRail, we made a road trip to the city of love - Venice! And, amazingly enough, we all fell in love on this day.
So, we made it, checked out all the gondola's floating around, and even attempted to get one until they told us they cost money. So, instead we got sucked into a bar that was advertising pitchers of Absinthe. A choice we would later regret. And for the next 3 hours, we stayed in this bar. John fell in love with our Italian waitress. Smeagol danced for us, learned some euchre, and also performed a trip favorite many times throughout our stay - the monkey butt!
And as time passed, John's mustache grew a little longer, and the waitress got more and more creeped out, so we had to leave. John was heart-broken, yes, but we had other things on our minds - Doner!
So, after spending in the worlds most expensive city, we hopped on the train back to our hostel in Florence and happily ate our Doner in 10 minutes, and retired to our beds with extreme headaches.
