Getting TO/AROUND: We had planned to go to Ljubljana first and I had already booked the train journey from there to Venice. But we had to change our plans, I cancelled our tickets and we had to think of the best way to go to Venice directly. We decided to take the night train from Munich and I booked a sleeper.
It was a good journey. I have some problems imagining a third person in this small sleeper, but for the two of us it was comfortable.
The conductor asked what time we would like our breakfast and he brought it to us. The coffee was much better than the usual coffee in trains, it was easy to see that we were in Italy.
Arriving in Venice early in the morning meant we had a whole extra day.

Getting TO/AROUND: Public transport in Venice is done by waterbus, the vaporetto. There are several passes for tourists, we chose the 72 hour pass. For 30 Euro each this is a very good deal.
Even though this pass is dated, you still have to stamp it before you use it for the first time. From this minute on it's valid for 72 hours, on all vaporetto lines.
Together with the pass we were given a map for the lines. The basics were really easy to see, but the fine print on some of the lines was impossible to read without a magnifying glass.( I hadn't packed one, so we guessed)
