Leaving Venice

We took the Water Bus from our hotel in Venice to the train station on Day four of our trip. The Water Buses are both easy and inexpensive and the best direct route to the train. Everywhere you look, you see dogs on leashes with their owners including on public transportation. Imagine my surprise when I sat directly in front of one dog with a muzzle and another dog growling in my direction. That was my clue to push my luggage in front of me to avoid any of my toes ending up as dinner.
There was some sort of protest at the train station.
Sadly, I cannot for the love of God read this sign.
The train ride to Rome from Venice was five and one half hours long so we opt for first class. As a matter of fact, we took a total of three trains while traveling in Italy and had seating in first class each time.
