venice

ok random flower photo i got at the peggy gunaheim museum. mrs tay wanted me to go so i went. i think i saw dynamics of a speeding horse+ house there by boticelli. @_@ i think!

ok last post of the whole trip! im skipping out milan since there is so little photos and we really didn't do much there. wanted to catch the last supper but er. you had to book 3 wks in advance. thats even longer than our decision to even go milan ahha! anyway we were there  less than 24 hrs so we didn't do much. so now onto venice!

anyway this is the take on the boat trip from the main island to venice island. yes they have a MAIN island. you can't possibly land a place on the small little island can you!

i like the second photo it had this ray of light shining out from behind the moody clouds thing. its kinda hallelujah moment!

the rest were just water, clouds and building. was cloudy that day so not much. though the water is green! not grey! im surprised.

random walk around venice we came across many stuff er shan't elaborate since i don't know much about them anyway. there is one of me and my family at the famous bridge ahha. i saw it on mr yaps wallpaper and realise we both went to venice during the holidays! i don't think it was at the same time. didn't ask.

anyway the night one may not be clear but basically there are drains to get the rain water of the island right? but cause it was raining so much and the tide was coming in that day, it ended up flooding the island from the bottom. as sea levels rise venice would one day be submerged under water. this is proof!

the second last photo was taken in this soap shop. yes i know it looks like candy but its not. the smell was kind of overwhelming afterawhile though. the last one shows a venice mask. over there in venice the masks are very popular! my mum bought one as a suvenier. another thing famous was their glass. though i didn't get to see the workshops i got a few glass fountain pen for me and dawn :) somehow i had a feeling she would like it.

and to those who wonder

do the houses really just over look water??!

i say this picture says it all :)

im surprised the water is still. green.

since i was htinking it was going to be all polluted and rank. then again if that was the case there weren't be any tourist would there!

haha row row row your boat gently down the sea!

 didn't sit on the. boats ( forgot the name) but oh well i walked all over the island so it's good.
