Europe Trip Part 3

Hello~ after a short hiatus and I'm back! 
Finally back in KL...kinda sad leaving Nottingham...>< the campus there is much much nicer...hahaha
anws...i'll be starting my intern next week in Port Dickson...
will reveal more about it when I start my training and will blog about my intern experience and more about the company I'm interning for...=))) by hearing the name of the company it's already quite exciting...so if you want to know more...stay tuned XDDD  

So before heading to Venice we stopped at a small town in Classe called Ravena...

 A statue of Julius Caesar...
 The cathedral of all the mosaic....I personally think it's quite boring...since I'm not a cathedral person nor an artsy person...
 Finally at the port waiting for the water taxi to bring us to the lagoon of Venice 
 Our fellow tour mates~ 


 St Mark's Square~ 

 What's venice famous for? Masks! but I do not want any of this smiling at me in my own house/room == 
 We even went on a ride on a Gondola~ 
 Dave, the funny guy of our tour...
That's basically the first day in Venice...did some shopping(my mom, not me)..but not much pictures taken...
The next day in Venice is the highlight! 
went to an island called Murano for the Glass blowing demonstration...so cool! 

 The shop itself is already very very beautiful! 

These are all handmade! bought myself and jen a keychain there...too pretty to resists XD 
then we headed back to the main lagoon and my mom did some shopping then we boarded into another boat to Burano! Lovely lovely place! This is what you should expect to see in Venice! imho, Burano is the real Venice! 

 Look at all the colourful houses...my camera is not doing the island any justice...>< go and see it for yourself! 



The island is all about the coloured houses and laces...so many lace museum located in this island...



After Venice we drove to Verona first before heading to Lucerne ...
I've been waiting to go to Verona..and I blame the movie Letters to Juliet's ...><
watched that movie in the cinema twice and not sure hw many times on TV...
that shows how much i want to go to Verona...
Girls fantasy you know... 

when we finally reached there...the number of tourists is terrifying...
goodness lor...the Juliet balcony is so small and hundreds of tourists are trying to squeeze in and not to mention, to touch Juliet's boobies...==


 Look at the number of People...and the wall == 

 Vandalism!!! they spoil my imaginary image of Verona so badly!!!! 
 The padlock gate...this inspired the padlock bridge in Paris...
and the statue of Juliet...took me so long to get this picture because people kept rushing in the touch her boobs! 


 You can write to "Juliet" about ur love matters if you want...XD 
The arena in Verona...looks like the Colosseum in Rome...

That's basically the end of Verona...

Next Stop is Lucerne...I m too lazy to write everything in detail...so don't complain about my briefness on everything...hahahaha
