Europe trip (Venice, Italy) (8th day)

Sorry for the late posts! Had been having some difficulty in onlining but here i am! Now, im actually at my last stop, London! And it is SOOOO COLD because the clothes we brought are not really enough to keep us warm for more than 30 minutes outside. Don't know how to survive till friday night! :/

For the previous days, i was in Italy. After Austria, i took a train down to Venice as known as the City of Water. This is one of the city i've been anticipating for since after watching all those movies filmed there. Well, some of you might know, i was feeling quite insecure with that place one day before i was there. However, thank God, everything was great there. The place didn't turn out as bad as what i'd imagined. The road was not that complicated (but of course a map is very needed). It was really interesting to know and see their main transport is through the river. There're no cars, motors, buses in Venice except in one small island called Lido.

The scenery was amazing in Venice. We traveled around Venice by water bus and feet. The water bus is something like a public bus or ktm. And i guess most of them don't take driving license and their 21st birthday gift from parents will most probably not be cars but boats!

Venice is famous for its mask. They call it the Venetian mask. Pretty interesting. Now i know where those masks originate from.



trying on one..lol. there is another type which is just like the joker's mask. Kinda freaky.

another version again. I find this mask...weird. Especially the nose. xD Heard this is also in the Assassin Creed game? haha
At long last, i had my first Italian pizza on the land of Italy! Actually they taste pretty the same la. Just that they have more cheeeeesseeee, so its delicious! I really gained so much weight after all these days in Europe! Like, seriously! I think i've regained back the kgs i lost when was in mission trip and even gained extra dy!

pizzaaaaaaaaass! :D
Didn't really do a lot on the first day in Venice. In the evening, we just sat on the water bus and enjoyed the scenery in Venice during sunset.
