Hey, it's Shae, and Marissa, and we're in...
Venice, Italy!
We're going back to the basics!
Grandma and Grandpa Cody and Giselle only used a paper map
to get around Berlin when we were exploring with them.
So, we were inspired to do the same in Venice!
Venice is probably going to be our first big challenge because we could not find a lot of vegan options,
but we marked them all on the map, we're ready to go, and we're going to hit all the spots
because we can see them! On the paper map!
I feel fancy by using a paper map.
'Cause we said "paper map" like five times. Paper map! Paper map.
Oh, look at us, using a paper map!
(laughing) Who put that there?
Paper maps too much for us to handle!
This is extreme sporting, this map thing!
We decided to walk along the scenic promenade called Fondamenta Zattere, and we made it to
the very end, it's a super short walk because Venice is actually very very small.
It seems like you're gonna be walking around a ton but it's not that bad.
And the very, very point and it was very pretty because you can see all the
different islands, so we highly recommend doing that.
And then if you keep a loop around and walk the other direction you come across this, which is
just a church? Catholic cathedral...
Yeah, it's called Saint Maria della Salute!
Hey!
Hey! Now we are at Alta Aqua Libreria.
It is a hidden book store and there are thousands of books, you guys. Thousands.
And not only are they just books chilling on shelves,
they're in bathtubs and boats as well
to save them from the high rise of water in Venice!
This is one of those hidden gems in Venice you have to go and see. It's really cool to get outside of the
touristy areas and find little places like this that are different and cool and amazing.
So we're at the science and art museum I think it's called? (It is...) Go for it!
Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti
and the exhibit that's in it right now is Zaha Hadid.
Yeah, it's like a modern art in architecture exhibit and it's going all the way until the 27th of November,
so if you're here you should definitely go check that out!
As we've been walking we've passed tons of open art galleries where
you can go and see local artists' pieces.
It's an entire island of beautiful architecture so the whole thing is a museum on its own.
So, we were wandering and came across Museo della Musica and it is an art
exhibit inside of this beautiful church and there's cases full of old, old instruments.
Yeah it's a music museum and it's just incredible, even the music playing in the background is beautiful.
And it's free to get inside. Yeah, it's free!
We have arrived at the most touristy place we've been so far.
I'm pretty sure this is like the tourist central.
Piazza Saint Marco, and there are so many people, but there's about just as many birds.
Can I help you?
On set of the new Alfred Hitchcock movie, "The Birds 2".
It's beautiful, it's gorgeous, come take a couple pictures but then get the heck out before these birds attack you.
Guess what we found? Vegan gelato, of course!
It was at a place called Suso.
Chocolate raspberry one, and I got a cherry...something. It almost seems like cheesecake.
The cone is also vegan! Wonderful news, I know.
We're here... (I don't know)
Campo di SS. Giovanni e Paolo. Paolo! Paolo.
You can see all the beautiful architecture of Venice, but in a much less populated area.
We just got vegan pizza!!
It was from this little side street pizzeria called Pizzeria L'Angelo.
They have a five vegan pizza options.
They have some cheese options that are made out of things we've never tried before,
and they also have some sandwich options in the morning.
Yeah, gotta go because we're gonna dig in. Bye! Ciao! Ciao!
We took a ferry from the main island of Venice over to Murano,
and today we're going to be island hopping but we can do it with the same passes that we got to
get to our hostel on the other islands. Is it called the boat taxi? Is it called a ferry?
(offscreen: "Le Vaporetto") Le Vaporetto! Yeah, that! That!
We got a three day pass to that so that we can hop around and we decided to go to some islands today!
Yeah! We got off at Murano Colonna and that's how we got to the glass blowing.
It's a show where they show you glass blowing.
So, if you go there, go see how they make really beautiful pieces of glass artwork.
Before noon. Before noon, gotta go before noon.
Ciao! Ciao from Burano and we took the ferry that we told you about,
but we had a picnic in the park and it was overlooking the water on such a beautiful day.
Now we're just wandering the streets getting lost once again,
and there's never a sad sight, this is just so beautiful.
It's so beautiful, you could just walk around for hours just looking at all of the colorful buildings.
Yes, so many great picture opportunities and just people watching opportunities.
It's beautiful, I don't want to leave.
I love gondola rides for 80-100 euros. They're super, super authentic...
and they're beautiful, they're so beautiful. And you row yourself, apparently.
Venice. (laughter)
