We decided to leave Genova and not stay at our Best western- it seems to have deteriorated a bit since our last stay..even the morning breakfast 's cheese looked like it was left out from yesterday.. A bit dry, dark around the edges and curling slightly... So we left and drove to the port so Lindsey and Patrick could see the pirate ship and submarine - and Joey remembered he left his camera in the safe and I left the passports in the same place.so back we went... Killed almost an hour .. Drove to Firenze and found a parking place near the grand market with a little flea market in front. Walked around to the beautiful pink and green marble church, past the most beautiful information center I've seen, and inside the church of the Santi Michelle E Gaetano. Each church we see is so beautiful and different from each other. Right next to the church was a beauty shop where you stick your feet in a tank full of water and little fishes. They said it was soothing.. I don't know .. We couldn't find an appropriate hotel in Firenze (money, location) so we took off for Venice, called the Hilton Garden Inn in Mestre for reservations and drove directly there!we arrived early enough to take the bus into Venice, and walk to a restaurant ... It was in the Hotel Carlton, called La Cupola - the service, decor and food were top notch, and we were so happy it was open. Because the shuttle bus was on a Sunday schedule we left Venice and made an early night of it.
