Venice has become one city on my priority list to visit. It
became true when I got a promo ticket from Helloe bus (new bus company in
Austria). The promo was 10 Euro ticket for every destination in Helloe bus
connection, which Vienna – Venice is also included. Without thinking too long,
impulsively, I bought that ticket! So, it was 20 Euro for back & forth
ticket Vienna – Venice. A perfect plan to save money!

I departed from Vienna on Wednesday night, arrived in
Venice on Thursday morning, and planned to go back to Vienna on Thursday night
so I can be in Vienna again on Friday morning (I have to work on Friday at
16:00 in Vienna). At least that was what I planned.

When I arrived in Venice, as I thought, I only could feel
amazed the whole day. The views in the city are very beautiful, new and
unique. Since I was a kid, I always dreamt about this city where people
transport to everywhere by using boat or gondola.

I spent the half-day getting around the main island of
Venice (Piazza San Marco, etc). Then I continued to other islands (Murano,
Burano, etc). To go to these islands, I bought waterbus 24 hours ticket for 20
Euro. Quite expensive, though.

Anyway, Burano is also very very very beautiful (I want to
put a thousand verys). It is a small village in an island around 11 km from the
Venice’s main island. The characteristic of the place is so different from the
main island. In the main island, the buildings are classic and old. While in
Burano, the style seems more contemporary and colorful. What makes Burano so
special for me is the color harmony, the quietness, and it is just cute.

No matter what happen or how long you stay in Venice, going
to Burano is a MUST!

At 6 PM I tried to go back to the main island since my bus
will leave at 9 PM. But because of my stupidity, I mistook the bus station
(simply put, I waited in the wrong station), and then unsurprisingly, I missed
the bus.
Fortunately, there was another bus from the same company
(Helloe) came 30 minutes after that. They didn’t go to Vienna, but to Munich.
But they said I can join them until Munich, for free.
Soooo… in the end I joined them until Munich, then I took
Flixbus from Munich to Vienna for 25 Euro… yeah, the cost saving plan was
ruined because of my endless stupidity… -_-;
But, other than this misfortune story, spending 24 hours in
Venice (even less), is very doable and fun! I really love this city… Venice is
one of the cities that I will visit again in the future…
