Hi guys welcome back to the channel. We are out here in Venice for one day. We're gonna walk around, explore the city
0:19
The three things I'd like to try Italian pizza, Italian pasta and cannolis. How much is it
0:26
It's got crunchy pistachios on one side And I'm guessing it's got creamy pistachios on the other side
0:34
The pistachio filling inside is delicious It's soft and like creamy a little bit
0:42
And then the actual cannoli is like hard and crusty And it's also sweet
0:50
It looks like a fairly economical restaurant I've had a look on a menu and the prices are looking good
0:59
Margherita pizza is going for 6 euros. This is OG Margherita pizza from the shores of Venice
1:09
So I just walked into a chocolate shop. They've also got some free samples that I'd like to try
1:14
I'd like to try the lemon and the alcohol. Thank you. Thanks
1:21
Which one's your favorite? The favorite is this. Oh, I'm going to have to try that as well
1:27
We'll start with the favorite. So the favorite is more or less an almond dipped in chocolate and then dusted in chocolate flour
1:37
This is the lemon one. Thank you. Lemon is sweet. It's zesty
1:43
It gives you that fresh lemony flavor. In the mix is the chocolate coming cool
1:47
This is apparently the alcohol. The minute you bite into it, it breaks almost like a shell
1:53
And then there's this liquid inside that just oozes in your mouth. So I found a restaurant and I'm about to try the OG Italian pasta
2:03
This is where all the pastas from the world have been inspired by it So this has high expectations on it already I went for spaghetti with tomato and basil and it 10 euro
2:17
Our spaghetti has arrived. It looks oily, stringy and skinny. But let's not judge a bookwise comment
2:28
Let's try it first and then we can give you like a real sense of what Italian pasta
2:33
actually tastes like from the shores of venice it's a decent pasta taste wise it's got the right
2:40
amount of seasoning it's nice and the only pasta i've ever had that's better than this
2:45
was from montenegro so i've just found a shop with some bottles of drinks outside
2:50
have you got um three samples of the drinks outside yes thank you okay
3:00
yeah, limoncello how many percent of alcohol? 30% 30% no wonder I want to find a mask before I leave here
3:08
this is the creme de la creme wow wow wow this is amazing
3:14
oh my lord, you're making the masks I'm trying to find a mask
3:18
for myself I'm not sure yet I think I quite like this one
3:24
This looks really good. How much is it? Pretty much. So I've just found something interesting
3:33
It looks somewhat like a vending machine, but with condoms. Just on the high street, I guess
3:41
It's got some condoms in it. It's got some lubes. It's got some tampax
3:47
It's a bit random to just have condoms laying on the high street
3:51
But I guess prevention is better than cure. Now to find out how cheap accommodation is in Venice, we'll be comparing three different places
3:58
One low end, one mid range and one high end. Now the low end accommodation is anything from 0 to 50
4:05
pound. Mid range being anything from 50 pounds to 100 and high end anything from 100 upwards
4:12
So first up our low end Forresteria Social San Marco I don know if I pronouncing it right But this was the cheapest accommodation I could find costing 59 euros plus vats and breakfast
4:27
which I later found out was just a coffee and a croissant. I had a single bunk bed in a mixed
4:32
dorm of about 50 other beds. And I exaggerate not, it was very crowded. The beds were standard size
4:39
They did the job. They also had a kitchen that you could use and a church to repent of your sins
4:45
Now, the only sins you can commit in that bunk bed are that of the flesh, your own flesh
4:51
Next up, our mid-range accommodation. For this, I had a look on Airbnb and found an apartment for £98
4:59
Pricey, of course, but perfect for committing sins, eh? So if you're traveling with a partner or friends, this gives you the luxury of your own space
5:08
now the apartment is open plan it has a decent sized kitchen and dining area large sofa bed and
5:14
all your standard amenities like tv washing machine kettle etc it had a pretty funky style
5:21
going on as well for the price i feel like i'm being cheated just a little bit 98 pound is
5:27
probably on the higher end higher than i would like to pay for that apartment and finally our
5:33
high-end stay. Venice Maggiore Constelligo. Again, I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right
5:40
This hotel costs about 139 euros for a superior double bed with breakfast included. For those
5:48
who like to splurge, of course. Now, the room itself is a bit smaller than you'd expect for
5:56
the price. It has a cool modern design and a gorgeous, gorgeous bathroom. Of course
6:01
also including your standard amenities like TV fridge safe so if you're
6:08
traveling to Venice in the middle of summer have your wallets at the ready
6:11
because you're gonna be coughing up a fair amount I'm trying to go on a gondola
6:16
before I leave Venice hello what's the max amount of people that can be on a
6:20
gondola five people okay so I found St Marcus Square where there a lot of people waiting to get on gondolas So hopefully I can convince a few of them to join their right
6:32
Hello. Are you guys waiting to go on a gondola? No. Oh, no
6:37
I can't know where it is. Hello. How are you? I'm good, thanks. And you? Yeah, I'm fine
6:42
My name is not on the list. Okay, why? Because I want to buy one
6:47
Are you alone? Yeah. No, I wasn't there. Okay. How much is it? I think it's 33
6:54
You can go to them if you want. Okay, thank you. Thank you
6:58
No worries. Hello. Can we cross over to the other side, please
7:03
Thank you so much. I'm guessing this is public transit. Google says I need to cross this river
7:09
I've asked the man, his little son. He hasn't asked for any money. Although I've just seen someone else pay
7:16
I'm going to act like I didn't see that, and I'm just going to cross over for free
7:21
We're on the other side. There's a line of people waiting. Alright, so I've just walked out and I've seen the sign saying the ferry is either 70
7:32
cents or 2 euros. I'm surprised he didn't ask me to pay anything
7:36
I guess they're just really nice. Alright guys, we have the crew together
7:39
We're off to watch the fireworks. We've seen the fireworks and right now we are exploring the city looking for somewhere to party the night away
7:57
Nothing tastes better than food when you've been drinking. We just found a pizza shop that also sells ice cream
8:04
Luckily they've got one more slice of margarita pizza and I'm having that one
8:08
It's 3.30am. We had some drinks. We had some good conversations, we played some games
8:15
we chilled in the square. And then now we're trying to find our way back
8:19
through this maze called Venice
