Another update to the Vaporetto system that I guess I should tell all my readers about. The city of Venice is getting a brand new electronic card system called imob.venezia that will replace the current paper system in use. These cards are going to be of great benefit to the locals but also to the tourists as well.
One benefit of purchasing a imob e-card is that you will be able to use these cards to see the various museums and art shows that are in all of Venice. Gone will be the days that you will have to purchase some tickets for one museum or group of museums but rather the dream is to just have one card that allows you to travel all throughout the city but also to get into to see the historical sights as well. At least that is how I interpret things as going. As with all new systems there is sure to be some snags in the system and others will not cooperate but at least it should remove some of the headaches of the previous system.
I am trying to make the blog a bit more topical and I hope you like what you are reading as keeping this blog up to date is one of my top priorities. Just a quick post I guess today.

Wow, what a great idea it is to go paperless.
