This overgrown playground in the venetian lagoon was on my list for a while. I was never interested in the lore of it, rather the beautiful crumbling structures and exotic location caught my attention. It was quite the contrast from the previous days experience of a snowy, mountain-top radar station. However, once we got to Venice, we immediately encountered a problem - transportation. We spent couple hours wandering around Venice, racing the sunset, looking for someone to take us to the island. From the few people that were willing to give us a ride, only one actually promised us a way back. We got to the island with about an hour of sunlight left, settled in and were ready to find out what it had to offer.
