9:00- Go down to breakfast, eat same thing I ate for the two days before: two rolls with a chocolate spread, dried apples, and a clementine. Sneak out lots of chocolate spread for future use.
10:00- Board bus
10:40- Notice mysterious brown sludge creeping down the floor of the bus. Bus pulls over.
11:30- Bus is temporarily fixed from the frozen engine leaking water. Heat on bus doesn't work. Considers putting gloves on feet.
12:30- Stop at toll booth and smoke engulfs bus. Bus driver is not phased, just says that it will smoke when we stop, so stops henceforth shall be limited.
14:30- Arrive outside Venice after one potty and two gas stops. Tired, hungry, smell a little like smoke, and cold.
15:30- Actually get into the city of Venice. It's way prettier than I could have imagined.
16:30- Finally make it to San Marco square, where the center of Carnival is. Lots of beautiful costumes. Laugh at hearing Green Day playing on the loud speakers. Take lots of pictures of costumed people.
17:20- Start heading back to the train station (meeting point).
18:15- Reach train station after getting hopelessly lost, including walking in a circle three times and stopping for carnival pastries.
18:30- Buy pizza from quick cafe. Contemplate getting the french fry covered pizza, but stick with cheese.
19:45- Board new bus which has double the seating, heating, and a DVD player. Watch Anchorman and Zoolander. Happy.
23:15- Arrive in Florence and glad to be back. And will never complain about the cold in Florence again.
Picture of Slovenia will be posted in a few days! Here are a few previews!
UPDATE: Pictures are up Here!
