Day 4:

We set off on a long journey to Venice, my dream city!! hee.. i finally realised my dream of visiting this city of water. Well, we had to stop at a jetty where we took a water-taxi to the jetty at venice.Venice is made up of 117 islandsconnected by more than 170 bridges.

WE then then the lkocal guide who was so long-winded that i got so sick of her talking and 'preaching' tt i started wandering around and taking photos. many other people also started doin so. in the end, the poor guide was left with 2 to 3 ppl. Poor thing! we visited the bridge of sigh, which is a bridge where prisoners will walk through to commence their sentence.

one place that left me with memories was the St Marco's square or aka Piazza st marco. this place is filled with thousands of pigenons. there were several small stalls in thes square selling pigeon food. the pigeons there are not the ordiniary ones found in sg.! they are so fat and are not afriad of humanx!they can come on top of u and stand perched on ya arms, head, etc. well , wellm wat an experience. i did tnot dare to feed them. we were also warned thst the excreta of pigeons were poisonous. there was once a man had pigeons excretion on his headf. from then on, the area affected cold not grow anymore hair. there were also many small souvenir selling Murano Glass ware and masks. i bought many gifts here for my frenx. now broke!


Day 5 :

WE stayed at the outskirts of Venice as we could not stay in the city itself. there were no transport to transport our heavyt luggages. today, we crossed the borfder of Italy into the new country of Austria.Let me tell u, alythough crossing the border from Italy to Austra did not give me a culture shock, Austia was teriible, fantastically beautiful!! the houses in the the suburbs are much prettier than thosew present in Italy. Italy's houses were more squarish and simple while Austria's houses werenice desoigned and more elaborate.

furthermore, the scenery of the place was so wonderful.. simple fantabulous..!!
Snow-capped mountains lined the background as i looked out of the window of the bus as it cruised along the highway.
the view, north , south, east and west is picturesque.it was simply 'eye-candy' man.

the scenery seemed to come out fresh from a fairytale, perfectly flawless!! just like a masterpiece.

haha.. tiresd liao.. tml den continue..

to be continued..

Day 3:

Breakfast was not satisfying at all!! i expected sausages, omelets, muffins, etc. guess wat? there were only jams, coffee, tea and orange juice(which tasetd strange) for us to choose. that was my continental breakfast.
i still prefer self-drive in America. the food there, be it Chinese or other cusine, its still so delicious!!

we went to the old town of Florence in Italy. In Italian, its also known as Firenze. i also leant a few Italian language such as ciao. which is pronounbce as '' çhao ' .
firenze has many old buildings which seriously required paint.However, they could not upgrade, paint or even install air con.. this is because the govt wanrts to presevre the original atmosphere and authenticity of the area. hahx! i really pity the people who live there in summer!

in the evening, we proceeded to an Italian Restatuant where we had an Italian dinner. there were various appetizers, starters, main course, and desserts. What;s interesting about the restaurant was its owner. the boss there was so funny. he confiscated chilli sauses brought in by the tourists who came to eat. According to the travel guide, he does that as he wants the tourists to tatse the original taste of the food by the chef, his wife. the hotel this time is Sheraton hotel which is so damn good..!!
i also visited the field of Miracles in Pisa where i climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa. there was a total of 200+ spiral steps. the air up there was refreshing too!!

my trip to europe

day 1:

halo! i decided to write a kinda journal for my trip to Europe coz 'its one of my dream trips..!! hee.. but i dont think i'll b able to publish all today.. i haf written them all down in a book but i donyt think i haf the stamina to write all in one day.

well well, today was spent on board the aircraft of air france from spore to paris, and then, transitting from paris to rome.
the first flight took aroung 13 hrs wjile the second one took about 2 1/2 h
to start off, the location of my plane seat was amongst the worst! that's because it's the last seat where the seat cannot be inclined at all!1 arghh.. to rub sal;t to the wound, the toilet is jsut behind! that means that there will be the noisy opening n shutting of doors and the bustle of people talking.the silent consolation was that the aircarft food waas simply delicious.. hee.. normally people hate aircraft food, well, i;m the direct opposite. i simply love them!
i just learned that they speak Italian in Rome. wellm i know a bit of Italian!hahx,.. but those are just musicalk terms.
oh ya, there is this 16 yr old guy who just completed his Olvls n is on the same trip as mi. well, sad to say, not my type ar.. haha.. too bad..
guess wat? i'm the youngest in the tour grp!! most of them are couple couple one.. oni 3 familuies,, altogher, 21 ppl.. we even have a honeymoon couple..!!

Day 2:

we went to a chinese Restaurant for lunch. the food SUCKS! but, that's not the point. the pt is, there is this so damn CUTE waiter at the restaurant. haha.. i'm goin boy crazee..!! i think he is probably the son of the owner ofg the restaurant. he has a Chinese accent when he speaks mandarin. but, i dont gif a damn about that, he is so damn gd lookiin!!No specs, expressive eyes, right height, hair that falls just the right way, nice complexion, and the list goes on.. haha.. well well, just a stupid crush., eh?

we then headed to St Peter's church (i tink so), the biggerst church in the whole wide world. It is so damn big and beautiful. just wat i would describe as magnificent! There were thousands of paintings. everuyne though they were oil paintings, until the guide tol;d us they were made up of tiny pieaces od mozaic pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle.every statue had its own life, its own story, and a world of its own.

next stop was the Collosea where Gladiator fights were once held. Unfortunately, we could not go in as it was closed. So, we could only take pictures form outside.

then, we went to some fountain.haha.. they siad if u threw 1 coin into the founatian, u'll come backi to Europe one day. 2 coins= u'll find love in Rome.

next was the Spanish steps where there were many branded boutiques like Pradi, Fendi, Louis Vuitton.haha.. i dare not even step into the shops! why? coz the place was so elegant and high class. and mi? just an ordinary gal .. who will look very very out of place if i were to step inside.
the place was filled with designer products, boots and winterwear which were magnificently designed for the special, unique and wat not.
we dined somewhere el;se and stayed at Ergife Palace Hotel which was nt very up to my standard.
