It's time for Venice!

Yay! It's Venice..
The Italians call it Venezia, in english, it's Venice.

Thoughout the trip, Venice is the bestest place! No.1. I think it's very very unique. No where on earth can you find a city like this one. So, before you go to heaven, please visit it.

So yea! We left for Venice on a day trip. The island is so small that 1 day is enough to cover the area. We returned to Milan after that on a choo choo train.

Yes! So this is Venice! surrounded by water, alleys are both walkways and waterways. very narrow. There are no such things as cars here. No cars..


Typical houses on the island.


Parking lots..



Rialto Market. A bustling area with lots of craft shops, smelly seafood markets push-cart shops. The widest canal on the left. Grande Canal. I think it's like the expressway.. hahha.



Gondolas under wraps.


Mode of transport. Most of the boats look like that. Privately owned. See the swirly piles behind? Tie your boats there..



Andrea on the water-bus.


Bow of the Gondola facing the central part of Venice, it's at the Grande Canal's mouth. Huge! Grand, as the word says and really loevly. It's romantic!

Btw, Gondola rides are 100€. Student price 80€.



one of the many Basilicas in Venice. Massive marble pillars.







Many pigeons, of course..








A Gondolier singing away in the narrow alleys. It's echos all around and make you feel so loved.


I love Venice the most!!
