"The train from Milan is arriving in the binary number 4"
I woke up and I looked out of the window. I've already been to Venice a lot of times actually and I like it so much. Venice is unique, gorgeous, romantic. Venice is definitely the city of love.
I'm so excited to find out what it's going to happen!
The train stopped and all the passengers began to climb out. I took my suitcase and I directed myself to the closest exit.
Outside it was really warm and humid. To me it looked like everyone knew where to go and I felt just like an outsider even though they were speaking my same language. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a taxi horn. I stepped closer and the taxi driver took my suitcase in the trunk. I sat down in the front seat and I replied to his question.
"Where would you like to go?"
"To the hotel Excelsior please" I answered with a smile.
"The hotel it's in the other part of the city, it would take a while"
"It's fine, thanks"
The taxi driver started to ask me some questions and I explained to him why I was there. He was really kind and nice.
After 20 minutes he told me "We're here miss"
I got off the taxi and I was out of breath. The hotel was better than I ever expected, I knew that just the famous people could afford to stay here.
"Oh my Gosh" I said and the taxi driver laughed at me.
"Yeah, that's what everyone says when they get off the taxi" he said laughing. I felt relieved.
Then I paid off the man and I went inside the hall.
I was shocked, it was breathtaking. I kept looking around stopping behind the front desk to look outside.
"Good morning" someone said behind me so I turned around quickly.
"Good morning" I said smiling. A woman was in front of me. She was wearing elegant clothes with black heels. I was so ashamed when I realized everyone in the hotel was wearing nice clothes and men were all impeccable in their suits. She was scrutinizing me and I understood it because I was wearing yoga pants and an American hoodie that was one size bigger than me. She smiled at me.
"Are you the girl we're waiting for? You look like the girl they told me about"
"Ehm...I don't know. I'm Marta"
"Yes, yes it's you! Good, we were waiting for you. First of all I'll present myself, I am Aurora and I'm the secretary of the director of this hotel. Come, leave here your bags. Daniel will take care of those. The director, Mr. Crestani is anxious to meet you".
I smiled and I've followed her in a long and wide hallway, bringing ourselves in the offices.
Aurora stopped in front of the door and she looked at me smiling. I tried to clarify my voice and I fixed my hair trying to look more presentable.
