Oh my gosh he's twitching.
What went wrong?
What happened?
Pizza.
Mwah.
Delicioso.
Until death due us part.
Urgh.
Five pizza boxes.
Hahaha.
Alright so we've got to address the pizza thing.
It is pretty hilarious.
Take a look down here.
I don't know how we did this but we ended up having pizza five times.
It was so good.
We were basically having it it was so good we were having it for lunch and then cooking
our own pasta at home.
We barely ate out.
And also doesn't my Dad need his own YouTube channel?
That was an original George idea.
Yeah.
So now we're going to give you the apartment tour.
So come on in.
There is a really long hallway.
A corridor.
A corridor and into here.
We have the living room.
Um it was perfectly adequate.
I mean we had a small table and four chairs.
Tiny little couch.
I mean for four people it was a bit cramped.
We found the biggest complaint about this place is we felt like we were a little bit
on top of each other.
You know we were staying here for 6 nights.
Mmmhmm.
It was a little bit crowded for 4 adults yeah but the views.
Right.
We chose this place for the views.
We need to show you.
The views and location were excellent.
One more time.
Check that out.
Tada.
The views and location were excellent also really appreciated this place had central
heating.
Yes.
Because it was cold the entire time we were here.
But we were nice and toasty inside.
Yes.
The entire time.
So yeah if you look over here we had wine glasses and we made good use of those.
We had lots of wine.
Lots of sambuca.
Come on into the kitchen.
Yeah we had wine and sambuca.
Um our garbage is all here.
We're going to be dealing with that.
Hahaha.
We did all of our cooking here.
A little fridge.
Um, yeah we had a kettle.
We had this grill.
I don't think that worked.
Or we didn't try it anyways.
And then we had a washing machine.
Yes.
And so yeah the kitchen was small as well.
If you come into here the bathroom.
I actually quite liked the bathroom.
It was fairly spacious by European standards.
And the coolest thing if you come into here and I can somehow show you this is that this
dial set the hot water.
Mmmhmm.
And it was very consistent.
Like it wasn't like running hot and cold.
It was like you turn on your water and you'd get nice hot water the whole time.
So it was wonderful to have a nice hot shower and then the last thing for us to show you
before we hit the road um is our bedroom.
And the best part I would say the best feature of this of this apartment I should say was
that we both had nice big bedrooms.
Yes.
So this was our bedroom.
This was our room.
And Sam's parents were next door.
I made really good use of this desk.
This is basically where I worked.
And yeah come take a look over here.
This is some neat artwork.
We were trying to think we think this is probably from Bali.
It is kind of an interesting mix of like European artwork and also a bit of Asian whoever lives
here has traveled to Asia quite a bit yeah because of some Asian artwork as well.
And yeah so we're ready to go.
Today is another easy travel day.
Uh huh.
We are only going to take a 2 hour train.
Yes.
Heading to Venice and the nice thing is that we have well I wouldn't say it is so nice
but we have a bit of time to kill so that means we can have a bit of a leisurely lunch.
Pizza.
We're going to go to that pizza place again just because we all like it.
It is cheap.
It is good and it is actually on the way to the train station.
We won't be taking a cab this time because when we came here oh my gosh the fees were
ridiculous.
They charged us a surcharge of a Euro per person and then an additional surcharge for
a Euro for each of our luggage so we ended up paying 8 Euros on top of the fare and we're
like nope.
We're just going to walk to the station today.
It is going to be a kilometer with all of our luggage.
So let's see how we fare.
Let's see how we fare.
Una prosciutto (Speaking Italian)
So we've tried a few different pizzas here at this place but this is our first time to
try the four cheese one.
So I'm just going to flip it up.
Flip it up.
And I'll just mention so for the four pizza slices and a couple of drinks we paid 15 Euros.
It was a good deal.
Mmmm.
Was it good?
No sauce but it doesn't need a sauce.
It has got so much cheese.
Haha.
Can you taste the different cheeses.
No I wouldn't be able to tell you but I know there is mozzarella and parmesan.
Yeah.
I'm not sure probably buffalo cheese as well.
Yeah.
It is tasty though eh?
It is very good.
And what are you getting Audrey?
Ham and mushroom.
That is the first time to try that one too.
And I'm just getting the classic margherita.
And that one is really good.
Little dollops of mozzarella cheese and lots of tomato sauce.
Lots of tomato sauce.
So yeah we're just killing time.
Our train doesn't leave for another 2.5 hours so pizza.
Pizza again.
So we arrived with 2 hours to kill.
Yes.
So we found a little cafe right in the train station.
We're all having it does not have the most beautiful train station.
Very little seating so we had to find a cafe.
Yeah we were lucky to find this one.
In order to get a seat.
So hot chocolate.
Ho chocolate.
And mini cheesecakes.
Cheese cake bites.
This looks good.
Everyone looks happy.
And we saved our money by not taking a cab.
Not taking a cab.
We had a pizza and now we can afford some nice hot drinks.
Exactly.
This is thick hot chocolate.
Yeah it is.
This is really good.
Wow.
It came from a really thick.
It is going to be really rich.
So we've got about 5 minutes to wait for our train here.
So I thought I'd ask you what did you think of Florence?
I think you liked it more than Rome right?
Very much more than Rome.
Very walkable, the art museums were very not crowded.
We didn't feel like cattle in them.
Yeah.
We learned from our mistakes we went early.
When it first opened.
We went early and also we had pizza for lunch every single day.
I know.
And you did a great job acting.
I mean that was your like Academy Awards performance.
Haha.
El morte pizza.
Hahaha.
And you?
Yeah, so I actually liked Florence more than Rome as well.
Certainly is much smaller and it is more accessible.
And my biggest tip for visiting here obviously would be to go early to the museums so you
beat the crowds or to make an online reservation.
But also to build in some time to go explore the more non-touristy parts of the city.
That is what I really enjoyed as well.
I just did some random walks by myself and it was just a lot of fun.
Kind of getting away from the touristy zone.
One other tip.
Don't take a taxi if you don't have to.
Yeah, hahaha.
Good one.
Okay so we're continuing our tradition of drinking red wine on trains.
This is 3 out of 3 Dad.
Yes.
3 out of 3.
We started this tradition in Spain going from Madrid to Valencia and then we did it of course
from Rome to Florence and now we're doing it from Florence to Venice.
So I like this tradition going out to the going out to the dining cart and drinking
wine.
Right?
Oh yes.
It is great.
So let's try it.
Cheers!
Cheers to you.
What do you think?
Oh that is nice.
Not bad.
It is not bad.
This is the best way to pass the time.
And it is not like we have a long train ride.
It is just by doing this it makes it almost seem like we're not even on the train.
That is right.
That is awesome.
Hahaha.
Cheers to you.
Oh and just so you know it is 9 Euros for the bottle and if we were to have each just
got a glass it would have been 3.50 each.
So we would have paid 7 Euros.
So we're getting a bit more for 9.
So we figured yeah let's do that.
Yeah, and you know I mean we'll save money on our next bottle when we get it at the grocery
store.
Yeah, we usually pick up pretty good bottles for between like I don't know between 3 to
6 Euros depending.
Depending on where we are.
Full bodied wine.
Full bodied wine that we have for our dinners.
Hello from a bakery in Venice.
So we've arrived here.
A nice short train ride.
We've checked in and we're pekish.
Which shouldn't be a surprise.
So we're at a bakery.
I've got a pizza slice and you've got some savory balls.
I should say.
I've got some balls coming.
Balls are coming up.
And they're heated up and we're just going to eat them and then we're going to get groceries
and then I think we're going to give you guys an apartment tour.
Yes.
Because our next transportation day is going to be really really long.
Trains and ferries.
So I think we'll actually give you a second apartment tour today.
Those look pretty good.
Okay so I got myself two Arancini.
Yeah.
I don't really know what is in them.
They just look good so let's cut them open.
Ooh.
Oh they are rice balls.
Oh wow.
Oh those are like the ones we tried at the market the other day.
Yeah.
So this is the yellow rice.
Fried rice and it looks like it is ground beef and peas.
Oh there are puppies.
Oh friendly puppies.
Hello.
Woof.
Hello.
Hahaha.
Woof.
Oh my that is funny.
And the other is with spinach.
This is going to be good.
Try it.
I'm excited for this.
Just burning my fingers a little bit.
Let's start with one of these.
Oh.
Wow.
What do you think?
Delicious.
That is very tasty.
It is pretty good.
What is it?
It is rice.
It is rice of course.
Hahaha.
I'm tired.
Hahaha.
And Sam oh my gosh.
Why does this even surprise us?
I can't believe I'm having pizza.
Actually yeah I can.
Hahaha.
Oh this is so hot I can barely hold it.
Uh it is loaded with toppings.
I've got a ham and mushrooms.
Pipping hot.
Maybe give it a second or two.
And this is like the pizza al taglio.
I think it is called.
Pizza by the slice.
And it is tasty.
You know it hit the spot.
It is not going to be my full dinner though I'm going to need something more.
Okay.
So.
Yeah.
Apartment tour.
Because it is cool.
It is cool and we're here.
We've got another person joining us on the trip.
One of my parents friends Val.
Yes.
She is flying in from BC.
Yeah.
We're just going to pick her up soon.
Um we probably won't show that.
We'll give her some privacy.
Yeah, she is probably going to be tired.
Three flights.
Oh my gosh.
Exactly.
But this is the first time we've had uh an apartment that has been two levels.
So this is really cool.
So we'll just quickly show you in here.
So this is the main entrance.
Yep.
We've just kind of left our luggage here.
We have a little desk.
Come on in the room.
This is my parents room.
Tada.
Having fun Dad?
It looks nice.
The ensuite is very nice.
The ensuite is nice.
Oh yeah the ensuite bathroom.

Rainforest shower.
Okay so we'll take you guys there is a little work desk in here.
Uh huh.
We'll have a quick peek into the kitchen.
The kitchen.
So here is the kitchen.
Here is the table.
Yeah it is pretty standard kitchen.
We're not going to do too much in there.
We haven't even cooked yet.
Hahaha.
So let's take you upstairs.
Duh duh duh.
It is quite the climb guys.
Check this out.
I really like the ceilings here.
The exposed wooden beams.
Duh duh duh.
And we are up here on the second floor.

So I've gotta turn on some lights in here.
I still don't even know how to operate them.
Okay here is this will be our bathroom.
Alright first up.
The shower toilet.
Toilet.
And this is cool.
I think this is where we're going to be doing our work.
This will be our little workdesk.
Another little desk area in the attic.
And look guys I've got to really watch my head.
You really do.
Or else I'm going to get concussed.
Concussed.
This is our bedroom.
Here is our bedroom.
We've got bunk beds.
We haven't done a bunk bed for a while.
This like harkens back to the days of when we were budget backpackers staying in hostels
we used to sleep in bunk beds all of the time.
So we'll be just fine.
Uh yeah this is going to be our room.
This is by far the smallest room.
Yeah.
We do have a little sky window.
What do you call this?
Ceiling window.
Oh neat.
Sky light.
Oh I hope we can actually see the stars at night.
Cool.
Armoire.
And last but not least.
We've got Val's room.
Val's room.
And Val is not here yet so we're not going to touch it but she's got a nice bedroom.
It looks nice.
We want her to have a nice comfortable room and she has got a desk and a TV.
So yeah from now on it is going to be 5 travelers.
Five of us for the rest of this trip in Europe.
So yeah that is we're going to sign off because we actually have to get ready to pick her
up soon.
Yes.
