Day 6 - 4th August 2011 - Venice

Our trained reached Treviso station at about 6.30am. The reason why we stopped at Treviso is because the place of our friends where we stayed at was in Treviso and not exactly in Venice. If you're staying in Venice, the train should take you to Santa Lucia.

He came to pick us up, we had simple Italian breakfast then headed out to Venice. The train tickets cost 5 Euro for both of us. Perhaps already familiar to you, in Venice, it's time to get lost! But before that, you can head straightaway to the ticket office to purchase your boat ticket. We stayed around 3 nights there and we got the 48-hour tickets which cost us 56 euro for 2 tickets. Basically with this ticket, you can go to every island surrounding Venice, like Murano, Burano, etc...

Our first stop was of course the San Marco and then the Bridge of Sighs (which was a shame when we went there. The whole bridge was covered with advertisement. BIG SIGHS). And then we headed out to Murano, the island which is famous for its glass production. We had lunch at a trattoria which cost us both 40 Euro... We had lots of pastas, wines and fresh fish! Yums!

To be honest I didn't really enjoy Venice that much. First of all it's very hot over there and plus the big flood of tourists! Argh... So I'll just let pictures tell you the story...

At night time, we went out for a wine tasting event which our friends' father invited us to. It's fabulous! We had almost bottomless supplies of wine and hams!! The wines are all very wonderful and cheap too. Truly one moment not to forget about.
