Venice - Venezia

took a 3 hr train ride to Venice Mestre and another hour bus ride to reach our campsite! we have no idea how our campsite looks like... very afraid that it will be dinghy and scary...

but it turned out to be like a chalet! jus like those in Pasir Ris!
5 of us... so we booked a house tent which turns out to be really a tent but with 2 beds in it.. and a small room with 3 beds in it.
small but decent enough







We await the arrival of the Torino girl ... preparing her a welcome gift (stalks of dried plants from the side of the road) to cheer her up after her 6 hrs ride from Torino alone.... :)


While waiting for her, we did some research on where to visit on the main island of Venice. Some backgrd of Venice:
Venice is a small island, with small canals as their roads. So, they have no roads at all, no cars at all, except for a carpark at its entrance. We figure that the people who lived on the island itself have to be freaking rich. ha.. Most of them owe a boat each to get out of the house to buy stuff and go around. So just imagine, when u open the door of your house, it's the river right at the door step. Get down the step and get onto ur boat and off u go..
to imagine it even easier, think of flooding the whole singapore. haha.. no longer seeing the roads, just water and boats.





gondolas are freaking expensive! haha.. but see also shuang..


Basilica San Marco.. stunning building.
this architecture brightened up our day! finally saw something different in Venice besides river, boats and bridges...


our favourite! Palazzo Ducale.
the texture and its pink make it a very pleasant building to admire.


just imagine a big space in front of the basilica and these musicians playing music.
very shiok except for the tons of pigeons in the space. think there are at least 500 of them there.


Colour accenting cindy with anything red.. ha


Second day in Venice, we got around in the water bus enjoying the hot hot sun and the water. Overall, Venice is really beautiful


Went up this bell tower to get a panoramic view of Venice. 3 Euros ! Worth it!




Some pictures while we were lazing along the river.
This is truly a vacation....



Ha... some paparazzi photos we take ourselves.. hahaha.. boliaoness


Night flying shots outside the Train station..
