EUROPE@3:VENICE,ITALY

Venice was the next destination after Pisa. Here's a little info on venice. Venice is made of 122 islands link by 400 bridges. We travel from the mainland to the island using the waterbus and cruise along the canals. i should say the only mode of transport in venice is by boats. no cars and motorbikes in that island.

this is a picture taken during the waterbus cruise.

yahooooooo........arrive at venice already....an island of romance....hahahaha.. romantic meh? i dont think so....

a famous view in venice....forgotten what was this place called........



a famous castle in venice....the only one in venice....


however, venice is full of pigeons. Kinda worried bout pigeon droppings.




went to the glass factory..wow.....actually we can see this kind of act in langkawi. so nothing special about this. the most impressive stuff was that the bald man in the picture knows how to speak mandarin.....coollllll






next we went to for a gondola ride. it is very expensive. they are charging 22 euros per person which convert to amount of RM110....we were waiting for our gondola anxiously...seen this gondola in genting highlands and lasvegas ....but do not have the budget to have ride it....besides, this place is exactly the same as the one in las vegas....miss las vegas very much.....







this is our gondola driver....most of them are very big size and strong..a very cool man....
















marco polo's place











Our trip to venice last bout 4 hours only. we doesnt seems to get enough of it. We need to leave at 5 because it starts to get dark by 5. Venice looks much more better at night. Miss this place.
