:P
we went to the tourist information center to find out
our hotel whereabouts
bought ticket for waterboat
and head for the hotel
the sky was dark and so cold that time
we were holding big luggages..
and walking along the street
baring with the cold weather
running nose...damn it~
we couldnt find it!!
arrrr, GG~
the island is like a giant
MAZE!!!
u will noe wat i mean if u click on the link
we were so scared to enter the maze
and worrying that we will got lost in there
'lorong' everywer and so dark and creepy inside...
policeman help us with direction
but it din help much coz he was unsure as well
the shop lot numbers in tat area are jumble up
and is really confusing
looking at shop lot numbers and search accordingly wouldnt work
been searching hotel for about half an hour plus? again?
notice quite a lot China people working as part time here...
and of course we take this opportunity to as for direction as well
but we still fail to find the hotel...
lucky to have this very kind man, walking a dog
helped us to call to the hotel receptionist
and the hotel receptionist came by to fetch us
the hotel receptionist is a very nice guy as well
a very friendly guy,
speaks not bad English
we even ask him to recommend us the famous tourist spot in Venice
he was willing to help us with any problem
after done checking in...
we headed out for dinner - pizza again lolx
we went to the pizza shop managed by china people
they were about the age as us i think
maybe slightly elder than us
went there to "bong chan" them
to thank them for helping us earlier :P
like wat we did for ROME,
we explore a lil in Rome on the day we reach at night..
and we want to explore a lil at VENICE too
went to the
Piazza San Marcoa.k.a San Marco Square?
because the Chinese call it as San MARCO 广场~ :P
we werent able to take any picture tat night
because it was too cold!!
I was unable to hold the camera still
feel pain on my hands
and it is quite difficut to take photo with gloves on
we just took a short walk at the 'piazza' and
decided to head straight back to hotel
the next morning,
the friendly hotel guy prepare us breakfast
is the same bread we had in Rome earlier~ O.O
croissant breadI guess that is very famous in Itally
and we had some cereals as well
and then, we start visiting~
Venice>>water city>>SEA!~
I guess that explains what we saw when we head out
rising tide in the morning?
flood at most of places
not able to take much nice photos as well
went for a walk at Piazza San Marco again to “compensate” for last night :P
then we went to the famous
Murano Islandas it was strongly recommended by the hotel guy
Murano Island a.k.a Island of Glass
where u can see a lots of stuffs like
THISand a lots more cute n pretty stuffs made from glass
but mostly were too expensive for me to afford :(
went to the glass museum,
but ppl like us without the "cells of art" in our body
not really know how to enjoy the masterpieces
and glass artwork in the museum
a bit too ordinary
it wasnt what i was expecting..
went back to hotel for lunch and recharging~
and had lunch at the chinese restaurant name "海城"
because the tauke helped us with direction as well last night :P
ate mihun kuey teow and fried rice~ O.O
a meal with less flour..lolx taste good~
next we went to
Rialto Bridge a~
no doubt it was a pretty and romantic place for couples
:P
went to visit shops nearby the bridge
interesting souvenirs are found
mask for theater, snowglobes, murano glasses etc etc
but those are pricey and quite big in size
dont think i can get it :(
we went to a restaurant
quite high class restaurant
jz to test the spaghetti in Italy :D
and we already expect it to be expensive
by looking at the way the waiters serve us
- cuttlefish spaghetti
- spaghetti carbonara
- lagsane + grilled salmon + gelato (set)
tat was our dinner for tat night~
49.6 euro~ O.O
and when we leaving
there's a friendly waiter approach us and say
"arigatou arigatou" O.O
i tin u noe what i mean de la ho? XD
we explained..and then we had small chat vf him
he says the tv weather forecast says that
tomorrow is going to snow!~ O.O woo~
tat's great to hear~ :D
The next morning,
is the 1st time in my life...i see snow...
hm..a bit different than i expected..
but this is something that I wanted to see since i was a kid!!
when i was 4~5 years old..i watch a movie, is snowing in the movie..i wonder
y msia no snow..was thinking mb when it snow..i wasnt noticing!! so..
i actually..went open the umbrealla..put it upside down..waiting for snowing..
and even if i din notice...the snow can be stack up in the umbreala =.="alrite..tat's a childish thought from me last time.. :P
snow melted so fast..within 1~2 seconds and its gone..
didnt see the 'snow flake' shape.. :(
tat morning..blackout in the hotel... :(
bad day..got a bad feeling with it..
as we leaving for milan..
the tide is rising..and the water flooded
till the front door of the hotel!!
water level = 0.5 m plus minus? got gua..
the mr nice guy hotel receptionist
provide us plastic bag and wrap it around our legs :D
gave 10euro as tips to him for being such helpful and nice guy~
three of us shared tat..
as we heading out for the train station...
is getting to snow heavier...
and is windy..plus the tide is rising..(flood)
all of us..holding heavy big luggage..
trying not to let the luggage got wet..
helding it as high as possible.. :(
walking on the "spare small lil bridge" prepared by local people
they tend to put rows of tables-like thingy along the road to prepare for the
tide every morning..smart~
but the table/bridge is quite shaky...
plus slippery - snow..and our shoe doesnt hv good grip..
wrapped up vf plastic bag dy..remember?
and were panicking the train will leave without us..
somehow..we made it to the station safely..
and the train got delayed too due to snow :D
Next stop, Milan ^__^ v
-->>rome, VENICE and milan<<--
