trip today.
22 firenze 9.05 to venize12.23
using euopass
left hostel straight after our breakfast.
We bought our bus ticket at 'shock
café' and then we headed to the station
we chosed a train in the morning
around 9 and 10am
and we reached venice around 12 noon.
Since the locker servicecost around
5,000 lire/luggage, we decided to head back to the hostel first.
The single trip tcket cost lira
6000 an 24 hr cost 15000.
we have quiried about the train to
zurich while at the station.
got a map from teh tourist information.
We were pending on a better to get
a day pass or single trip.
However, CY says that we should
get a single trip ticket so we can walkaround the vincinity around the
hotel.
We took a little time to find our
way.
single trip ticket.
We de-boat at Ca'd'oro and walk a
little distance from it,
we managed to locate the exact location
after asking the chinese boss of a chinese restauarant..
the hotel reception looks very run
down and the room allocated to us is further down in the street.
We wreer all tired of the distance
of walking and the condition of the town looks bad.
But when we entered the hotel, it
is a world of different. The room is big and spacial.
The decoration is great and the
bathroom is wide and cozy.
After unloading our baggage, we head
outside the town for fresh water.
It is the time i realised how small
the roads are.
Just enough for pedestrians to walk.
There is not a single car or motocycle
in the town.
The maritine weather is hot and humid.
We had a luxurioius lunch at a restaurant
where I finally had my salmon cream source pasta. (35/3 people)
after our lunch , we headed to san
maro area of venice .
venice itself is a romatic place
.
especailly at san macro area where
ther's live performance of mozart's 'ikenike natchi musick'
pigeons flew around its vast parade
square ,
feeding on the corns that the tourist
feeds them with.
People sat in the shade, engross
in venice's slow and lazy atmosphere.
The boat bus is their mean of gettng
around their city fast.
Along the banks are many shop stalls
similar to singapore like shop trams at sentosa.
I got a barb wire henna tatoo there
at 10,000 lira.
Henna would last for manybe 2 months.
Later I and bel lost CY and gang
so we headed back to standa,
a supermarket near our hostel and
we bought some food for the following day's journety.
I just damaged my watch.
