last trip in Italy..VENICE

Sorry folks, I got a huge problem to upload pictures when we were in Venice from 26 to 28 March 2008. This bloody blogger didn't want to accept my beautiful pictures of Venice. Yes, it was a really beautiful and peaceful island, there is no terrific traffic problem on the road and what u have to do is walk. The main transportation is the Gondola, water taxi and boats I suppose..I do love the place but, we were lost for about 3 hours to find way out! we kept found the same place for 2 or 3 times and each of our faces you can see how frustrated we were at that time..Yes we do got bloody map and the main problem was that, all the buidings and the road were exactly the same design. We followed the sign given but, when we kept the sign to find way out, suddenly, the next signage disappeared. Its really confusing when you were in the middle of 2 or 3 roads in front of your eyes. At 4 pm we want to went back to our hotel and finally we could reach out to the bus station about 7pm later. Well, if anyone of you want to go to Venice for holiday or honeymoon, I bet, you will get lost for the first time no matter how..that time when we in Venice, from my very own experience, there were a lot of tourists like us, trying to understand the map and when we passed by, you can heard they talking to each other, "I don't know where the hell we are" and I smiled while whispering, "kita sama"..hehehe..More pictures for people who never been there


Masquerade mask I bought, typical sevenir from Venice of course

Malaysian friends we met in train from Rome to Venice (Birmingham University students) from left, Taufiq and Nabil. During that time, our train was stucked due to technical error and it was delayed at Florence for about 2 hours! It supposed to be 6 hours journey but at that time, our train took about 8 hours to arrived Venice..huhu..

the bored faces in the train, Izwan

Gondola in Grand Canal. We could not afford to take a ride, it cost about 80euro per trip! nevermind, some other time perhaps! (yeah, keep dreaming, girl)

Piazza St Marco, remember the Italian Job movie? well, this is it..I remembered the scene where Sean Connery phoned his daughter after he bought a gold necklace for her..

in Rialto bridge, a lot of shops..of what had I read before, this is the bridge where people will trade or selling years ago and do still now.

Rialto bridge with gondola passing through it..how romantic that scene, was it?

Very cool blog! It was very interesting to read and look at. I have a question:
How did you get that "Facebook" thing on the side of your blog? I have facebook and have been trying to figure out how to do that for a long time. I would also like to know how you got the "Places I've visited" box and the "Books I've read" box also. If you could email me at ashbash912010@gmail.com with the answers that would help me SO much!
Thanks from Belgium,
Ashley!
