How do you say "bug spray" in Italian?

Well, Florence wrapped up nicely and here I am in Venice! Still didn't get into any major museums due to huge lines but I saw the Duomo about 15 times to make up for it. I swear, it is an astonishing piece of architecture, but eventually it just turns into a big neon sign flashing "You are walking in circles!" But hey, at least I'm walking in circles in Florence, where there is great shopping around every corner. That was probably my favorite city so far, but I have high hopes for Venice. Especially that mosquito repellant is readily avaialable and does not cost an arm and a leg. Well I guess it doesn't matter, if they want these bumpy, itchy arms and legs they can have them!

Other than the mosquitos (which actually were a problem in the hostels too since nobody ever closes the windows), camping is still terrific. Because I stayed with the same chain I got a deal and so I rented out both beds to have the tent to myself for just a few euro more than I would have paid in a dorm type hostel, score! And this place is a bit more resort like, with a pool and bar etc., so I think I'll just rest up here tomorrow and attack Venice the next day. If the mosquitos don't carry me off first.

Gosh, totally brain dead now, it has been a looooong day (but awesome--I frickin woke up in Florence and am going to bed in Venice)...good night all, talk to you soon!

    OOh Venice! Are you going to take yourself on a romantic canal ride? That would be so cool!

    I loved Florence as well.. Venice is also great, the murano glass that is everywhere is so pretty! Too many peee-johns though. 1-2 days was about max for me.
