Venice was the highlight for me this summer.I was really looking forward to it & just like Paris...it was love at first sight.Signore & Signori...i'm so in Love.....so there is plenty of photos.hehehe.

Some Quick Facts....

* Venice is not cheap & nothing is for free.Want map from Tourist Office? 2Euro!

* Got your map?Ok just put in in your suitcase as souvenir & prepare to get lost in the maze

* Look for landmarks and know which direction you are heading to.E.g. San Marco, Ferrovia, Rialto

* Relax.Relax & Relax

* Must Visit the beach!

* Mask too expensive to buy?Then,just kaykay like buying n take picture lor

Initially,i wanted to get a Venetian mask.Then,i try to picture this scene...Hubby not at home then u wake up at night go toilet.The mask there on the wall staring at you n you mind try hard to scare u..*faintz*So i change my mind...Horrid imagination,huh?

The first day,we tried to go the square...we were so tired of the route that we just accepted that we were lost and followed the crowd.Hehehe.

Rialto and San Marco..St Mark's Basilica

Found the square ready but how to find HRC?!!Finally,we arrived at the recently opened HRCGetting Married in Venice..How Romantic...Err..how they hang clothes like tat huh?from one block to another?If i know i will try in my HDB house too...
Gondola Ride...Trust me it was coincidental that i matched the gondola. Do you know?
*The Venetians don't walk between the columns of Venice's two patrons (Marco & Todaro) as this was the site where many executions had taken place.So,it is considered bad luck to walk in between these.Hubby wanted to take picture with pigeons.While,i was trying to take his pic,one pigeon comfortably sat on my hat.I was so freaked out.Hubby quickly snatch the camera n took these shots.

This was our territory for 2days.We sit here and enjoy the scenery,feed the pigeon pizza crust,take picture etc.While sitting here i noticed a banner on the opposite and told hubby that the banner says Singapore.I had no idea what it was but seeing the banner with Singapore in Venice just got me so excited.I believe it was some exhibition...On the last day,we had alot of time as our train was only at night.So we decided to take the taxi ferry and go over to the other island.When we reached the last stop,we saw lots of people in beach wear.So,we decided to check out the beach.
