We started with a taxi to get us to Termini Station. This station is one we have not used before but seems better organised than Milan. The Rome station is huge but we already had a printed ticket. The board said Gate B but all gates give access to all platforms, all 24 of them. 10 minutes to go, the board said platform 4, so easy for a change. We arrived in Venice at 2:45. I already paid for a Vaporetto ticket before we left but a machine has to print it. We used the counterclockwise 5.1 for the quickest route. The first boat did not let us board as we had baggage. No phasement. So we waited another 20 min and this time they let us on and we even found seats. The hard part was when we got off the Vaporetto as my hotel map was printed incorrectly sending us the wrong way. So we started the google maps approach but the phone was off line with no internet. We got another persons phone and worked it out. Then it was back to the Giudecca Canal as those bridges have ramps for baggage. We made it here after an hour of activity at 4:45pm and 32°. I can see a bridge and canal going past the window and a pizzeria on the other side.
