I booked a room from the owner on Agoda. I showed up late because a man threw himself onto the tracks under a train ahead of mine. I messaged ahead that I would be late.

Venice Island is a beautiful and historical city.. A lot of tourists but a very few locals are seen. A lot of buildings seem to be abandoned.. if you walk though those alleys especially later in the evening they look haunted because there is no light on those buildings. I loved the city but afraid what comes next.. Anyways a must go and see city before...
