Italy - Venice

Day 7 - Regretted not buying the ticket to Venice the day before and it turned out that all tickets were sold out until 1 pm. We had no choice but to sit around the McDonalds near Florence train station to wait for the next available train. We manage to reached Venice in the evening and it was drizzling and pretty cold. For the first time I needed to put on my jacket in Italy. Our B&B was off the Venice island thus we took a bus over. Venice is beautiful!

This is the main canal which cuts through Venice, it's really wide.


This is one of the small sub-canals where people go for boat rides. Sadly we didn't join one as it was rather expensive.



Day 8 - We were too tired from the entire trip and we slept until noon for the first time, it was totally satisfying. Took bus to Venice island again and this time we took a ferry to a nearby smaller island called Burano. Burano is known for its colored houses along the canals, pretty special concept.


Day 9 - Last day in Italy! We went back to Venice island once again for some final photos before saying goodbye to this beautiful country. Gonna catch our plane back to Frankfurt Hahn. Yeah the airport is really uluu and we took a seriously long bus ride back to Mannheim.

The first trip in Europe is truly an eye-opener for someone like me who has hardly been out of Asia (went Perth once). Can't wait for the upcoming trips!
