Venice-City of Romance

We went to Venice in May 2007. We actually went to a few cities in Italy but this post I would like to talk about Venice only which is always known as city of romance.The city of Venice is simply stunning and completely unique.It is linked by a series of over 150 canals, 400 bridges and many ancient pavements. Venice is without doubt one of the most beautiful and popular cities in the world and is always admired by the many tourists that visit throughout the year.

My travelling experience in Venice was so relaxing as we can walk around the city without taking any public transport coz we just hang around the island for 3 days and 2 nights. To my surprise, my hubby proposed to me when we were taking the gondola ride. This is an unforgetable memory to me. I still hope to revisit Venice again but maybe when we get old. ^_^

Talking about the food, I am expecting to have a good italian food there, but "NoNo". It's really disappointing and we took McDonalds for about 4 to 5 times during our stay in Venice. Anyway, during that time we were trying to save some money on food as our next station will be Paris, where definitely we will spend more either for shopping or food.

Here are some pictures taken in Venice. St. Mark Square is full with pigeons and very annoying. If you ever squad down, the pigeon will step on your head just like the picture below...

And he still smiling happily there -_-'''

This picture taken at the Rialto Bridge. Cool isn't it??

Just a little advice to those who are planning to backpack to Europe, Venice definitely a "must visit" place. You can either take plane or train to Venice. Check out the low cost airline, Ryan Air from time to time as they always have promotion just like our Air Asia. During our time, we were lucky to get those zero ticket from Ryan Air and ended up we saved more coz the price was cheaper than the train tickets and we could reach the destination faster as well. :)
