Venice - Day 1
Arriving in Venice: The Start of an Italian Adventure
November 15, 2023
After a long overnight flight from Chicago with a quick stopover in Zurich, I finally arrived in Venice on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 15. With my luggage in hand and my eSIM card activated for seamless navigation (or so I thought!), I made my way to a water taxi bound for my hotel in the heart of this enchanting city.
The ride was nothing short of magical. As the water taxi glided through the canals, the setting sun bathed the Venetian skyline in golden hues—a breathtaking welcome to this iconic destination.
Once settled at my hotel, I couldn't resist heading out to explore. Venice’s winding streets and canals are famous for leading even seasoned travelers astray, and I happily embraced the challenge, getting lost for the first of many times during my stay.
I got even more lost on Day Two in Venice.
