A trip to Venice (part 1)

Venice is a island made up of approximately 180 islands and within all the islands, there are about 400 bridges connecting all the islands. Between the islands, there are canals and basically, Venice is living on the sea. Year by year, the number of floods are increasing thus, the government are trying ways to save this beautiful city.

This photo is taken on one of the bridges in Venice. As you can see behind, there are so many Gondola on the canal, this is typical of Venice as their main transportation is by the boats;water buses, water taxis and the Gondola. There are no vehicles in Venice. To get from one point to the other, you will have to travel by water or by walking. We love to walk in Venice as we can spend the whole day walking in this beautiful island.


Look behind the church, this is the main center of Venice, very famous of the plaza. This place is called San Marco place. During the day, the plaza is full of pigeons which you will be able to feed them by buying the corns located at the side of the plaza. They will fly to your hand if you have corns in your hand. During the night, this place will become so romantic. The restaurants hired some band to play some classical music. You will be able to dance in the plaza with the music if you like. Of cos, this will be a very romantic memories remind in your heart. But, look at my stomach, a little bigger? Hee...


Look at this photo. We were at a small restaurant and JB wanted to take this photo. He's being funny and said that it would be nice if he could sleep like that. "Cheri, if u are going to sleep like that, you will have a stiff neck after."
We went to this restaurant as we were not able to find the restaurant we wanted to go at the beginning. It is a small restaurant and they have a limited choice of food. We wasn't happy with the food though, but we had no choice because we were rushing to watch the 'Regata Storica.'

So, this photo was taken at a small village gathering. One of JB's friend in Italy. It's a small village and they were having a gathering for the fire works. We were invited to the party and it was nice. First time I've seen this kind of party. Though it was raining after the dinner and they had to put the fireworks in advance, but it was a nice time together with them. The Bovo family was really nice to us.

Well, I guess this is the end of part 1. Coming up next will be part 2 and 3. Enjoy reading.
