Italy 3 - Venice 1

Land is really precious in Venice. See the long queue outside the tourist information office which is barely 2 metres wide!


The Grand Canal.




There is a reason for tonnes of tourists to come to this place. It's just hauntingly beautiful!!


Can u feel the beauty?


Narrow canals everywhere.


Took us a bit of effort to locate this restaurant recommended by Lonely Planet. It's I Quattro Rusteghi, at Campo del Ghetto Nuovo, Cannaregio 2888. The food was really nice - I would say the best we had in Italy - and the location is on a quiet square away from the big crowd of tourists.








We had a mix plate of seafood appetiser - octopus sald, sarde di saor (fried sardines marinated in vinegar and onions - a Venetian specialty), dried cod fish with polenta, and shrimps. Superb!


Spaghetti ragu.


Moscato D'asti. Love the sweet smooth taste.




Mysterious man.


Mysterious Venetian masks.




Famous Murano glass. These 2 pieces costs thousands of Euros each!!


Everybody gets lost in Venice. See? Which way to go?


So u just walk!
