DAY 5 (01 Oct 07, MON) : FLORENCE - VENICE
We are sitting in Macdonald in Venice. The only friendly place I feel in Italy. We reached Venice this morning via the water taxi. Lunch was bad. The overpriced sandwhiches and taste awfully. Even the hotdog bun (3euro) taste bad, Ikea SGD1 taste better! Hahaha....We had 45 min local tour which we barely understand what he is talking about…. The St Mark’s Square is impressive with its big Doges Palace and the whole stretch of building which is currently the museum.
After the city tour, we visited the glass blowing which is so so… followed by the long awaiting Gondola ride! The most enjoyable thing in Venice is the gondola ride. The Italian who ferry us is very handsome!...hahhaa… it was a ride organized by the tour guide so the gondola only travel the inner route. We din get to ride pass the bridge of Sigh…so no kisses under the old bridge (there is a believe that when couple kiss under the bridge of sign, they will stay forever in love).
We are given 2 hours on our own to explore Venice. Nick and I walked the same streets over and over again, nothing interest us… a lot of branded shops around. We decided to take a coffee break at the café house but the price made us think twice….hahahaha… in the end we eat ice cream, drink beer by the street… Just next to the café house. We move on to buy some souvenirs and bad experience! The street vendor wasn’t friendly. When Nick was choosing some keychain, the vendor speaks in Chinese “你好, if you want to buy, be fast, dun block my other customer”…. Damm bad attitude! But to Asian only…cos I saw him smiling and talking to the ang mo behind Nick… Wat a great country!!!
While waiting for the gathering time, we are here in Macdonald with 2 hamburgers, 1 coke and 1 fries for 7 over euros….hahaha…overall feel of Venice? It’s a nice city but not to the extent of romantic. I saw on the inflight entertainment that say Venice is one of the world’s most romantic place. Tell me how a damm crowded place can be romantic???

But …..the ride back on the water taxi leaving Venice is great…. A nice sunset view…..
