Inamilestone, the northArsenae, a girlwas sitting. Aphonein his hand. He could not stopstaring atdinghysailing towardthe shipyard. Perhapsthere isa partof his soulthat alsoswept awayin thetorrentialflow ofthe canal. I do not know...
I tried looking for the most romantic angle to capture the event. She remained engrossed bask in the warmth of the summer sun. Not far away, a pair of teenagers sitting side by side on the banks of the canal while looking at distant sky Venice, Italy, late last May 2013. There was no conversation. Just the girl smiled when she realized someone was perpetuating itself. There are moored, such as rolls of rope vaporetto (water bus) is thrown into the harbor edge. Palpitation like that every time the wind flow to slit the small canals that separate the old buildings in this town.

At thecounter, wecanchooseto buyticketlasts12 to72hoursat a price of18-35euros. Ichosea duration of24hoursto buy ticketsfor 20euros.
Duration calculation is important to note because if it passes the time tickets can no longer be used to hitchhike vaporreto. This is the most friendly transport water and used a lot of tourists who visit Venice. Compare the price of water taxi, with the same Pizzale Rome until the Arsenale, the meter could reach 100-150 euro. It's dangerous if you run out of pocket money in a far country.
