On the third day, we decided to visit Burano an island which is famous for lace-making. I personally really like lace, that's why the trip to Burano uplifted my mood a little bit. We also visited the lace museum which cost us 5 euro each to enter. Not much to elaborate about, but I love lace! Hahaha. I love seeing how they're made. So pretty...
After that, we visited Giardini for the second part of Biennale we hadn't visited. Compared to Arsenale, Giardini was much more happening and exciting! There were halls dedicated to each country... I remember seeing the ATM that played really loud (and horrible) music when you accessed to it. There's a pipe organ on top of it that linked the activities altogether. Quite awesome, it really drew people to withdraw or do any kind of transactions there.
In the evening, we went back to Treviso and did what the local people do! Having tramezzini and spritz by the street. :) We had this awesome anchovy cheese tramezzini that really lingered in our minds... then we went for the real dinner. I was craving so badly for Vongole, so we just stopped by the first restaurant we saw that had it. It's yummy! So there ends our story in Venice.

Day 7 - 5th August 2011 - Venice
In the morning, we only strolled around Treviso. To be honest, I love this small town. Even right in the middle of the city we could see something beautiful as this...
Also the fact that people could walk together with dogs going in and out shops is just amazing... i really want to live here. Shortly after, we departed by the boat to visit Venice again, this time for the La Biennale. For people who are familiar with the art industry, this is one of the most prestigious exhibitions in the world that one can't miss. Okay, perhaps a little bit of overhype there. It cost us 20 Euro per ticket to enter and it's valid to enter the Arsenale and Giardini. We went to Arsenale first, which was a let down for me.
But I love seeing how turqoise the color of the water was in Venice. Around the exhibition place, the water activity was quiet. That's when I could savour the tranquility of the turqoise Venice water and watch cute hunks topless blasting out music loudly from their private boats. ;)
At night, we went out for a hearty Italian dinner with all the friends. Closed with a gelato dessert. Much love.
