plan asal nak g Piazza San Marco tapi memandangkan hari dah petang dan risau jika tak der bas balik mestre, so cancel jer lar. bukan itu jer, kaki pun rasa lenguh. Piazza San Marco merupakan tempat lapang berhampiran dengan Saint Mark's Basilica. Saint Mark's Basilica merupakan gereja terkenal di venice. so ambik gambar dengan menara jam di Piazza San Marco. tue pun ambik dari jauh. sorry lah, tak nak upload kat sini sebab gelap. matahari dah nak terbenam.

VENICE part 4

sejam duduk dalam gondola, sekarang masa untuk jalan2 beli souvenirs. memang banyak kedai yang menjual pelbagai barangan seperti beg, perhiasan rumah, keychain, pakaian etc. berjalan2 di sekitar venice seperti berjalan2 di set movie hollywood zaman 50an. kesemuanya bangunan yang hampir mencecah beratus2 tahun. kebanyakan kediaman asal telah diubahsuai menjadi hotel atupun kedai. setiap bangunan mempunyai ground floor yang sengaja dikosongkan sebagai persediaan jika air pasang. aku memang kagum dengan jurutera yang membina bandar venice keraana mampu membina bangunan yang kukuh sehingga kini.

sesi jalan2 di sekitar venice

trademark venice. venetian mask. venetian mask ini biasanya digunakan pada Carnevale. pelbagai rupa dan saiz. first time lihat, memang teringin nak beli, tapi bila lihat kali kedua, rasa seram lak pulak. imgine lah gantung mask nie kat dinding rumah?

ha!! yang nie pulak fav mak aku.



suasana di venice. kiri kanan semuanya kedai.

nougat!!!

bila berada di luar negara, situasi berjumpa dengan rakan senegara adalah sesuatu yang menyeronokkan. kiterorang berjumpa dengan famili yang peramah nie. famili nie dari kl dan g venice dari rom guna train.

sesuatu yang menarik di venice adalah murano glass. murano glass nie adalah barangan kaca yang dibuat khas di venetian island, murano. memang cantik dan harganya pun cantik. murano glass tidak terhad kepada perhiasan rumah tetapi juga untuk perhiasan diri seperti cincin, loket, subang dan rantai. paper weight pun ader gak. aku tidak berani mengmabil gambar barangan murano glass sebab khuatir mengenai peraturan di sana. so, seperti biasa, mr google jugak yang akan membantu

Venice (Italian: Venezia) is a city in northeast Italy which is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. It is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000^[1] in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE) (population 1,600,000).

The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century B.C.^[2][3] The city historically was the capital of the Venetian Republic. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".^[4] Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.^[5]

The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.

The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.^[6] It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.
