Italy 10 clauses 5: Venice

Today to take a train from Milan to Venice.

Tickets were yesterday to Milan Central station bought, EURO STAR of the train, the book describes this is European, or even the world's great train.

From ASSAGO hotel to Central station we expect an hour by car, taxi driver after boarding suggestions we by subway, avoid road congestion delays.

Think of the last flight Milan Metro situation, we really don't want to Tao, but situation by only bite agreed.

As usual, the central station of Milan is the magnificent marble building, behave on an even keel cuboid, positive fountain to add some Italian buildings and romantic.

This building was built in 1921-1931, old railway station has been the year of the late sixties, the interior decoration is very old, some operating train look junky. But as with most European railway station, their waiting places are on the same floor, all departure and arrival of the train are all in the same column parallel tracks, passengers do not have to go looking for the target service, management easily confused, this fall than in the country by train is easy.

From the noisy crowd to the train station on the subway, Star flower 0.7 Europe went to the toilet.

The toilet is automatic charging, coin door, little does not open, many do not even open, so if there is no free money Europe 0.7 really can only stem kept, it appears that the toilet was not enough intelligent.

Eurasia endless plain view from the window.

I held the camera, capturing the Evergreen from little red roof, although already reached Europe after five days, or temper excitement, heart like a train as a gallop in the Apennine vast land.

More than two hours after the train began to cross the "100 free bridge to the island of the country" into.

Free bridge connecting Venice with the land is the only long beach, on the horizon of exquisite sea views, 10 minutes after the train arrives in Saint Lucia station.

In accordance with the travel book on the direction we are called Alilaguna water bus.

Many years ago, in the merchant of Venice "of primary school textbooks knew Venice and just Dora the Explorer, as well as a ship's flowers, jewelry, and arm sing folk songs of Italy, the view is even more beautiful than imagined.

Sunshine full River, those floating House in water, large and small, Mae of various styles, the housing of the sill to bloom to produce brilliant color of flowers, red, yellow, violet, white, bustling, colorful moving and the window sill, boats called just Dora the Explorer boat is free to tour GE.

Venice's main thoroughfares is S-shape of the Grand Canal, from Santa Lucia station: take the 1-channel, 82 road water bus tour through the Grand Canal to St. Mark square, the center point.

Reservation of hotel is located on the Riva Degli Schiavoni (Slavonia people embarkment) Gabrielli Sandwirth Hotel (Gabriel hotel), in San Marco along the Canal.

Pier is close from the hotel, the disembarkation after 50 meters you probably went to Venice, the famous 4-star hotel has 150 years of history, with most of Europe has a long history of the hotel, she also is the humble facade, only three two waiter, portrays a family of big long wooden table a bottle of Central hanging flowers bloom, feel free to put around a newspaper, magazine, let the guests feel like visiting a normal European family.

Room on the second floor, small and exquisite makeup, Central a Venetian glass chandelier, shallow and pan out warm Orange shade. A door would have fallen in love with this wonderful person, and then you can close the curtains more tempted exclaimingat, the window is on the famous San Giorgio Maggiore Church! looking out from the window, the bustling hive of activity the Bank terminals, canal boats coming and going of various type, seagulls hovering in the air of liberty, groups ash dove from time to time over the horizon, the distance the water sparkling, sails and looming large and small islands, as if the license of sin.

Venice is a holiday paradise really not bad, not even the 4-star hotel is located on the Internet, as if to tell you that it is fun, work temporarily left aside.

Unfortunately the husband do this and so chic, so went looking for Internet cafes.

Away from the bustle of the Terminal, in search of Internet cafes along the way we crept into the Venice locals real "sites".

Because just Monday, most shops are closed doors, the Internet is no exception, this also allowed the husband to completely dismiss the idea of the work, both in for a pound, or do a simple tourists.

The streets of scarce, vegetable and fruit stall block before several children ruckus, like the Chinese village of common picture, red tomato, green pepper and cucumber and also of the domestic market, but much more common fruits and vegetables on the Western food.

Supermarket goods than domestic large household shopping centre, but also complete, there are dozens of drinks, ice-cream complexion. The most gratifying is cheap, purified water as long as 0.5 Europe a bottle, street shops can be 2 Europe, hotel more is your SCRI, 5 euro, 50 RMB! we bought three bottles of water, two boxes of ice cream, over dinner, whereafter, like walking in the country lanes.

Many of the locals a small park, we pick a bench to sit down, warm sun, chronology, through the leaves fall, from time to time have led the children of elderly enjoy enjoying family walk.

Current residential although old, is very warm up the yard has fallen leaves, flower full clusters, balcony flowers blossom Cheng-sheng, quiet with vigor.

No wonder many Regal will resort in Venice, indeed, compared to Lijiang, compared to Phoenix, compared to domestic petty bourgeoisie were commended for any leisure paradise, Venice is a paradise of heaven.

This small island has no motor, because prices are expensive and seldom travel team overnight, a dusk here is quiet, except for near St. Mark's Cathedral, there was almost no trace of the tourist spots.

Sitting in the Park

I've long refuse to leave, I do not know how long such a State of mind may have ...

The night began to fall, crossed the difficult odds bridge, cross the River, we cross in St. Mark's Cathedral a nearby river restaurant sat down.

The perimeter of about 11 km of island, Criss has 177 size River to 400 seat sizes, forms a bridge to differ, I believe that every person who visited Venetian, says "I walked across the bridge you come more than" the time is definitely better than other people to be bold.

Venice is famous for its seafood cuisine, we point out fish soup and cuttlefish.

The lamp lights up one at a time, far from mellow folk songs of Italy, singing asymptotic, come two "just Dora the Explorer", but the singing is not an arm (young's arm and perhaps as much as we do only know pop), just recorded songs released, although not the merchant of Venice "depicts the charming, but this place is enough to stunning.

The Venetian night is slow heat, she slowly, bit by bit to the parcel you, make you drunk, you can't bear to leave.

Here not as Lijiang, not like Phoenix, always make you feel like an outsider, the natives living here is to let you unknowingly be harmony in, gently into a trap, never walk away.

In Mark's Cathedral Square, night was lit, blended with a lot of heated discussions.

San Marco square is Venice's City Centre, the Plaza and religious 175.7 m, width 57 meters and had been referred to as "Europe's Napoleon's elegant Studio".

Both sides of the square are the ancient and the new PCO, the East is the magnificent St. Mark's Cathedral, the West is built in the 18th century Napoleon Ballroom. Three surfaces of the buildings are Marble Arch gallery buildings, especially the ancient and the new PCO's three-tier arches promenade, each is fully 50 multiple arch coupons doors and 100 + root in the corridor. Night when each arch coupons door lights are lit up, the guest will exist in a sea of lights, bright as the stars, awe-inspiring.

In a brilliant light beckons, the night after the tourists like Venice tide General flock to the square.

The north side of the ancient PCO in front of the building has two band line-up the battle, they spelled, and sometimes lyrical, lively and passionate and sometimes tardiness, visitors to follow them, like riches to General, now all concentrated in the West, a music listening and Hua Lala land all flow to the East. When we arrived, the East of the band are playing the Spring Waltz, the tonic is violin, two Fiddler salivating lust, completely immersed in the music, the body with the music of undulating pitching freely, indulged in character. Music constantly climax, the crowd like Tidewater enormous, "den-den-den den den, den-den-den den den, den-den-den-den-den den den, den-den-den den den", onlookers emotions are mobilized, we can't help with the band hum, applause. On our side, a bit older European man dance as a command, the air of intoxicated, as if the face is that belongs to his own band.

At night, we reluctantly left square, leaving those who remain immersed in the joy of the people, with such as water-like soft feelings go back.

Passing through bridge, suddenly there is a statue in front of the statue of liberty, I was just wondering the day doesn't seem to have found such a statue statue of belonging to the United States, the husband has in front of the statue of the little box down a coin. Eh, tall statue was gently respectfully bent back, waiting for my return from surprise to God in a close look, the statue has revived the original motionless, torch high, staring at the distant sky. I still don't believe, looking at the small boxes on the floor, there are half a box of various currencies.

"That's the street artists play, today is 9.11.

”

Oh, soft as originally 9.11! water heart suddenly down a heavy stone.

Five years ago that night, in the face of sudden plunge in the television scene, World Trade Center instantly reduced to ashes, the moment of dismay my lifetime — simply cannot and dare not, will not believe there is such a thing happens!

Time goes by, the crazy terrorists and cannot prevent the United States and the world feet, how human to reach the level of civilization to the complete elimination of hatred and killing? now in Venice as water night, my heart is no longer to be calm.

Thank God, I have a life! prayed to God for peace in the world!
