Venice: City of water.

Photobucket
There are many names for this beautiful place – ranging from ‘City of Water’, ‘City of bridges’, ‘City of Masks’, ‘The Floating City’..etc. Partially because this place is so uniquely built. The city is made up of 100 over small lil islands where bridges were built in a post-hoc manner to connect these islands, hence forming Venice. Something that I didnt expect before I walked on the land of Venice – Getting lost can be a joy. In Venice, every corner can be a pleasant surprise. Be greeted with shallow canal waters, bridges (that marks the end of a little island) or a dead end. The pathways wind itself along the colour blocks of buildings. We spent the first afternoon walking through the city following the hearts,without maps. 

A picturesque city. I LOVE VENICE! Hence I should let the pics do MOST of the talking ;p

As a brief introduction, Venice does not have any land transportation. Their “buses” are actually the vaporetto which takes you from stop to stop on sea. There is hardly a proper sign in Venice. They are either hidden by graffati, missing a letter, redrawn or missing as a whole. Shopping in venice is a whole new experience as you  shop beside canals & canals. IT”S A MUST TO GO UP TO THE SAN GIORGIO MAGGIORE TOWER!!! Refer to facebook album and u’ll know why! But it offers a birdeye view of Venice. Really beautiful as you see the exact shapes of the lagoons and island!! Incredible <3

PhotobucketPhotobucketUs going on a Gondola ride on Day 2 when the skies turned blue and sunny! Not super amazing but one of the must-try experience when u’re in Venice i guess. Along the way, we actually saw a man offering helicopter ride/tour. Sounds really interesting but we werent sure if the man has a genuine license.. hence we didnt!

PhotobucketNight time at the San Marco plaza was amazing as the major cafes showcase their own musicians and fill the plazas with love inducing melodies. Man, european life on the plaza is one of my top missed experience now. :(

We chilled our last day away at one of the (expensive &) nice cafes at San Marco plaza and it turned out that I’m kinda allergic to strong caffaine.. I started feeling nauseous and guilty on the vapouretto. And begin puking my night away. plans to have a last late night in europe failed because of that.. :( . well the good thing was.. It happened on the last night and i was only sick for that night!
