Venice Italy October 2006

From Bologna, took a train to Venice. A nice gentleman (a tout) took us to a hotel near Rialto Bridge to stay. quite a lovely and teeny-weeny room with attached bathroom and cheap too. no cars in venice except one ferrarri inside the ferrarri shop, manned by schumacher himself. houses here are scary as most sunk into water during high tide. even the walkway is flooded, so there have raised platform which they put out during high tide. venice transport is mainly ferry or walking or gondola (for tourists only-lah). a lot of nice church, san marco, can hear classical orchestra. a lot of shops selling murano glasses. took a ferry to murano island to watch two chaps blow glasses and make pranching horse, the logo of ferrari. pissing here using public toilet is expensive, euro 1 per piss. should have pissed into the canal. bugger!
