Santa Lucia 28 July 2014
After three days in Venice, now we are heading to Florence, we woke up at 6am to get ready to catch the water bus. I took shower and cleaned our room a bit. I checked emails and Facebook of course. It was 7am, which meant that we still have time for breakfast. It opens at 7am. The dining room was still empty, we both had cappuccino and orang juice. Kadek had a piece of bread with butter and cheese.

After having a cup of cappuccino and a glass of orange juice we checked out from the hotel, the man at front desk was very friendly. We returned the key and said good bye. We walked along the allies toward the Plazza San Marco. It was very quiet in the morning, there were only a few people around n many turtle doves eating from people who fed them. (Insert a picture of empty park).
We arrived at the San Marco water bus stop, we validated our tickets but they were expired, which meant that we had to buy two new tickets. There was one ticket vending machine around that area, and the ticket office was not open yet. We put ten euro to buy one way ticket, for some reason, the machine didn't give us any change, then we put another ten euro to get another ticket, again there was not any change given.
A few minutes after getting the tickets, the water bus arrived at San Marco. There were only a few people in the boat, so we had a chance to sit in front on the first row of the chairs. The water traffic was still very quiet at that moment. I took a few more pictures on the way to Santa Lucia bus stop.
Getting at Santa Lucia, the place has been busy with many people. I really needed to pee, but I had no coin to open the door to the public toilet, nothing is free in Italy. We had to get a one euro coin to open the door to the toilet. We walked around and got a bottle of water for our trip, but the main point was to get a coin.
Inserting a one euro coin at the machine, the door open by itself. The toilet was very clean, everything is automatic. We don't need to flush the toilet, the water run automatically after we pee, and the water also run automatically when we wash our hands, just need to put our hands under the tap. When we need to dry our hands, just put our hands under the hand dryer. However, when we get out from the toilet, the doors won't open by itself. I got confused for a while, I tried to read the sign about how get out. But before I finished reading, a lady who smoked outside the toilet before I went there, pushed the red button on the right side of the door which opened by itself.
"Thank you!"
