Today’s our last day in Venice. We have to be at the bus station at 6:30pm to catch a ride back to Treviso Airport. Our flight on Ryanair is not until 10:40pm though. We got super chocolaty pastries for breakfast. I felt kind of sick afterwards, because they were soooo chocolaty. 
After getting chocolate all over my face and hands (and trying my best to clean it off), we went to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum. It is near the Accademia Gallery. I loved this museum so much! It was in a rather small building (that Peggy used to live in), but was so full of art! There were lots of works by Picasso, Miro, Dali, etc. All of my favorite artists and styles! I am a fan of surrealism and abstract art. We spent a while there, and then went to Piazza San Marco to take more photos. 
It was so much more crowded today! The little streets around the Piazza were so packed that often we would be stuck and not moving anywhere. We got more pizza for lunch, then wandered around some more and got some gelato. I love gelato! I had yogurt and mixed berry. So good! I’m really going to miss Venice. I love all of the costumes here for Carnival. Everything is so beautiful.
Eventually we headed back to our hostel to grab our backpack, and then headed towards Piazzale Roma. We found dinner on the way, but it wasn’t very good. I got a rather bland calzone, and Allyson did not like her pizza slice at all. Sad. We kept walking towards the bus station, hoping to find another gelato store, but had no luck. We sadly had to board our bus without having gelato one last time in Italy. However, when we got to the airport and went through security, I was ecstatic to find a gelateria inside! I had the best flavors – chocolate and tiramisu. Delicious! We were early, so we sat in the airport for a couple of hours and played cards. When our gate opened, we rushed down and stood in line because again it was first come first serve seating.
The flight home was the worst flight of my life. I was in so much pain from take off to landing that I wanted to jump out of the plane. It was the 2 hour plane ride from hell. Because I am so sick, my sinuses were super clogged and my head did not adjust to the pressure. First, as we took off my ears started killing me, then I developed an excruciating headache. It was so painful. I was dying. I was trying to read Northanger Abbey for my Brit Lit class, but could not do it. Seriously, so painful. My eyes were tearing up and I was crying. It was embarrassing, because I could not control it. And my nose kept running and I ran out of tissues, so I had to wake the guy up next to me so I could get out. Ergh! It hurt so badly! Once we landed, the pain did not subside. Eventually one of my ears popped, but my right one never gained its hearing back. I was really worried, because by the time we reached the Centre it was 2am and I still had no hearing in my right ear and it hurt really badly. I went to bed in pain. It sucked. I’m just really grateful that it didn’t happen on the way to Venice, because that would have sucked.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip! I loved Venice so much!
We asked someone to take our picture for us... apparently we weren't clear that we wanted the costumes in the photo as well... I mean who doesn't want a picture of themselves squatting super awkwardly?
So... of course we had to take a few more awkward public squatting photos...
