Italy-Venice (1)

20070508

Early morning flight to Venice, foretold, is a good weather coming in aircraft landing!, you can see the panoramic view of Venice in the air, water, few poor land surrounded by dull, though may be not too.

The airport is also a small land, a straight water taxi road through the islands of Venice.

In the airport lobby bought water bus ticket, 12e (like) a man dragged my luggage and went about 500 m to the bus station, next to the bus is the taxi, 40e.

Bus line a lot, so the boat to see clearly what a line, our hotel in Saint Mark's square, the goal is to open San.Mc. bus is slow, and taxi's biggest differences, generally not more than 20 yards, if you have a ship coming from, the speed will be slower. To Saint Mark's square, don't know how long way away, enjoy the scenery of the city, next to the Canal houses many with red brick on top of the lid, turned out to be, and China's housing is extremely similar, then take a closer look, Venice bridge mostly are visible at first vaulted, not least from the Marco Polo Chinese stealing technology, but as a Chinese person this is something to be proud of!

The Saint Mark's square station, visitors are much like small dumplings, used in domestic playing feel that too many Chinese people, didn't think like people, foreigners mountain people on both sides of the road sea! is a little of the next one, sold all kinds of beautiful masks, there are some buskers in the sale of their works, such as the Venice of the still-life painting, gouache, oil paintings, sketches.

Next to the station of watercourse edge stop full decorates the disparate just Dora the Explorer, sailor wearing striped shirt, adopting very much like relates, hailed a passing tourists around. Each gang Dora between end stakes for that sailing vessels in the Shui, even under the impetus of wood, into will not be corrupted, so these stakes gradually became a unique view of Venice.

Saint Mark's square a circle around the building is Venice's most important attractions, followed by St. Mark's Cathedral, clock tower, clock tower, Office Administration, Saint Zacharie Church and Government House.

These building courtyards, solemn and solemn. The square has several very famous music Cafe, they usually provide music from time to time, it is said that sitting in some coffee from a certain perspective Saint Marc Square, scenery and exactly the same, apart from the 17th century old some things without any changes. It is therefore here and coffee prices, even if they do not point to any food, sit down to a separate charge. The Centre of the square is a paradise for tourists and the Dove, visitors spend 1e can buy a package of grain, as long as he saw it, they would be cynical fly to you, even you encircle, at first but also for their passion and pleasure, not a will know pain, hands, arms, shoulders, all skin exposed places are they scratch out flashes of bloodstain, Oh ~ it is raging!

At St. Mark's Square Hotel almost all old fashioned hospitality, their houses are almost the same age and square.

We chose a room away from the center of the square to 50 meters of the hotel, the elevator is very narrow, seem to squeeze up to four people, the floor is very small. Into the room, lunged is a wood moldy odor. The room decoration is typical of European old-style, wooden floor and a step on the GA cheep. TV is 11 inches, the wooden Windows are hyper-open, you can see from the window to the square of the building, there is also the home of Venice. The residences reserved for a traditional characteristics, drying clothes, bamboo pole used to fetch from downstairs milk basket tied to a rope in the attic of the window. You can imagine the day milkman a calling to put the basket, this kind of life I have only heard of, but never saw this, Venice, it's all so real. At this time there was a deafening square Bell, in fact, not the whole point, why Bell? there is an interesting hotel, room key. Read the European old movie you must have seen the attached key Keychain, a piece of pure copper strap with a tassel, heavy enough to get defensive. Keys must be out of time to the administrator, the door when they want to, because only a handful of keys, if you lost the will to so great trouble, and secondly to pay quite objective. Living here is like living in a world heritage, the family has undergone centuries had survived, now open to let you experience a life of the ancients, still very rare opportunity, but keep in mind that action to the light, lest a careless took the floor on a hole that terrible myself ~

The square is Venice's most important tourist shopping district, here is the winding trail on either side of the shop, gourmet food, jewelry, brand fashion world a line, souvenir shop, and glass products.

There is no need to worry about getting lost in the alley, according to the general direction is the same, not far away, there will be a bridge and watercourses, sometimes see a church or something. We in the alley of chaos go without a purpose, enjoy a vast assortment of merchandise in the window, a lot of things very creative, well worth buying back doing souvenirs, if you do not select anything special souvenirs you can buy several small mask or glass products, cheap and very fine, a good choice. There is a glass shop merchandise is the package by mail, you can drive a hard bargain! remember receipt after leaving is good, so as not to damage the good way merchandise returned goods, also there have been sent a product and you selected is not the same thing, so it is important to keep good receipt. Venice is famous for consumption is high, so we still do well prepared, since spent transportation to a trip, not too save, sometimes to prices undermine play mood than gains.

Our hotel at 9 a.m. and will organize a meeting to glass

Island shuttle taxi service for free, just today is the Church of St. Mark this weekend, in the morning to rest, we take taxi to the famous glass island. Glass is one of Venice's specialties, their centuries of craft very exquisite. The glass Island first to visit the on-site fabrication glass glass factory. A white-haired old man holding a long hollow tube glass water stuck pipe end, on the other end a blow, a rotation is struggling to make a flower Bowl, I have not even come over his reaction, he put the Bowl from the tube end go down on the desk that we appreciate. A complex flower Bowl is made of this, I thought it would be like people like about how package dumplings of folded out of the fold, it is simple a throw. Really creative! another products do flying horse. Or with a glass of water, this time not blowing, but rather take fire clamp, a clip a la is a leg, repeating several times, and edges clamped edges rotating tube, because the glass of water is very hot, still poured, a bit like and very soft surface, and finally in glass gradually cooling hardened process finally fixed horse legs of direction and attitude, and finally always vivid flying horse before us, the total time of 2 minutes.

Glass factory has a large showroom in display their products, but also in the sale, most are through the roof, there's even a 6-digit e, but a hard bargain room is very large.

If you just look at it this trip restaurant is sufficient, because when we finally go out of the factory when it knew that the glass factories on the island are very similar products, there's someone in your family house is sure to have, but the price difference is large, so be sure not to buy glass products in the factory, they spread than watercourse edge black!

That is the factory deceives us, gave us a very unpleasant experience.

We go through the Exhibition Hall asked managers at the island's Glass Museum, how to get to, but he did tell us today is Sunday, the Museum does not open the door, if we go somewhere else to do in front of the factory back to St. Mark's square, taxi, if I want freedom, they will themselves be responsible for the back. I think twice, and her husband decided to freedom on the island turns back, so we gave taxi, at that moment the management immediately said that casually we, as regards the Museum had no he is not very sure. At first we did not understand why he did it, and so we bypass a bending alley walk to the main glass Island streets are found on the island, similar to earlier that glass factory yard, glass products are very much the same, many prices are cheaper than earlier. Wait until the Museum entrance is found to have the administrator is a real big liar! museum open every day from Monday to Sunday!!!, he is the island's people, he could not know that the non-he was just trying to keep us stuck in his yard, do not know the prices outside, gave the correct amount of visitors, it's too dark, it's no wonder that beaming tell us free ride taxi! foreigner polite but is behind a nasty features, pretend guy, a sharp and disgust and more!, trouble, glass Island ticket place usually in the 1 point prior to being closed, we didn't buy bus tickets ahead of time, that means back to the main island, the watch will miss the afternoon of Saint Mark's Cathedral of tours. Fortunately there is a local Auntie used mixed with the local language of the English told us behind the glass island has a buy point will normally be one hour later than elsewhere, the clock should be closed before. We listen, then top with large Sun ran in the past, to the shop owner is in the Pack, not only is our life better, and stores only the most expensive ticket, 6e, we can only buy the, you know, this ticket you can make any trip bus go anywhere, we only take three points back to St. Mark's square. Husband thinks we are experiencing is because the ghost factory's sake, they must be and some of the luxury hotels in collusion with up to designated locations to buy overpriced souvenirs, original world tourist spots are the virtues!

While this, or to go to the comrades several recommendations: in any of the Museum (Saint Mark square up) you can buy the so-called e-tail, a dozen or so, but you can go to many of the attractions that we bought the Island Museum of glass, afternoon in Saint Marc play all attractions are included, it is the best value! Additionally in bus station and buy a coat-tail of 13e, 24-hour unlimited ride any bus, this is also very effective, you can follow S River and visit the Venice, if one-way buy it there are three fare ticket, according to the distance of the most expensive is the 6e, we had to buy it, you can do so from the start but this end!-tail not all votes point has to be bought in the main island, and demand.

The last point is that Venice ticket locations are on the side of the small shops, a very humble, but he will at his door of hung a blue sign that reads "T", this is the ticket point logo. But because it is a personal store, so they close the door on time is the same, many in the noon 1 point before closing, such as glass island. Hope subsequent smooth all the way to the comrades!

Back in the afternoon in front of the queue, the Church of St. Mark's team is several S-bend, finally winding to a square edge of river, patience, and so on, an hour or two can go in, or come early, there is no other way.

The most famous church should be those pictures and colored stone tiles into Holy figure, unfortunately I do not understand the Bible is not very aware of the West, in the mind of the plundered the original as possible learn Western history does not work, thus making, came to the top, walking out the Hall will be able to see the four horses copper high above, these are reproductions, really in museums, wait while realized. The horse was transported by Napoleon, then shipped back and no place to go back, but to protect it.

In the Church to meet many people doing mass, I'm not Christians, but also learn their way, the point about holy water, then "around", as my mother had a sanctuary lamp

Peace, bless them.

Then is queued on the Bell Tower, where separate tickets, 6e, high-speed elevator, in the above you can see the panoramic view of Venice in all directions.

There's one more thing, can the Bell, I haven't ever understand where to knock, but the clock suddenly waffling rang, the two big guy than I also high, here it is to listen to the bells, tight cover a ruined my ears still feel gone deaf ears, and urge you to listen to the Bell Tower on never, if there is no protection against sudden attack, will someone scared heart attack

The Bell Tower is no fun, for two minutes, was done on the abuse of a Bell.

Next stop is the House, just by doing this, here is well worth a look.

This exhibition has many ancient Venetian fighting appliances. Previously always felt movie those Knights took his sword and spear are exaggerated, and see the exhibition to discover, exaggerated though, people even a 1 m 8 man want to take them up is not easy, not to mention also swing freely, to fight with it,

How strong is visible the ancients, the war has more tragic you can imagine.

House of another aspect is the murals in each large Chamber will have a number of famous paintings, these paintings are often very large, covered with a wall.

The largest of which is on the third floor of the Hall of the Kingdom of God ", said a 7 m x22 m, is the world's largest canvas painting. We went with the go global-Italy ", the above said this of the Kingdom of heaven" on the second floor, accompanied by a photograph, this is an obvious error, the second floor also has a lobby, the oil is also very strong, but not the Kingdom of heaven, even if they do not understand the culture of the West, look at content and also to know that heaven will not be full papers are killing and bloody. The third floor to see the real "Heaven", only to find that book error.

House Tour of the second part is the real climax.

It is only human, after repeated trials, Louisa was always ultimately convicted and sent to prison, and Venice's famous bridge at the end of the tour, if according to the order and then look at the bridge, it is easier to understand those who make it through the bridge of sighs and despair. The courtroom alone, after many trials of final conviction was put in the prison House would pass bridge! this bridge is used to connect to the House and the "down" of the two buildings, was sentenced in this down almost nobody can come out, in passing bridge, this is the last time prisoner to the outside world, often leave a heavy sigh, this bridge as a result. Across the bridge and immediately becomes a dark, dank, huge stones have a built in prison cells, less than a metre high walls on the door, open the mouth of a meal, the window is the used arm heavy iron bars "ten" cross-connect. Did not expect this from the outside look inconspicuous building has many layers. The more the more light walk downstairs, prison conditions, dark too bad, the third layer is fundamental in the underground, the Venice water rises every year, the water will be poured into the prison, prisoners can only in water, and tolerated, it is also the name of the fastness. Prison is forbidden to take pictures, so we couldn't leave a picture, only out of the House outside the prison when he took a photo, insufficient to embody the bad conditions in prisons, and then look at the bridge, feel enriched by many, it seems that I can try to understand the feelings of those prisoners. However, the legend of the prison had escaped from a prisoner, how to get out of it is still a mystery, not like the Xiao Schenck redemption on the same holding spoon digging it. I dig you dig. ..

6 points, the attractions are basically are closed, in the square with the Dove, also in the vicinity of the statues around, saw a man into victory girls, hold the "torch" motionless, photo photo, such as visitors paid, this way of making money is not very special, but why is the "statue of liberty", holding arm are not very tired? her husband that she's big robe in there.

The next day to visit St. Mark's square, on the other two Museum is very general, mostly in the Venice of civilian life, nothing special.

In Venice everything expensive, here is the foreigners are aware of the famous city of high consumption, especially for us, but glad to be here very much see a lot of people.

No supermarket near the square, a bottle of pure water small to 2e, Golden House near strada nuova, there is a big supermarket, price is very fair, a big purified water as long as 0.25-0.5e, you can take a boat to go to the River to visit the gold home station disembarkation take some distance away.

Eating, I was never really care about, in Venice had two good pizza and three Chinese food, Chinese food is what longcheng prices, the taste for overseas Chinese who has been very good, but not in time to go to meal mouth will meet mission, then serving very slowly.

In Saint Mark square around the turn of the time you will be able to see the shop's advertising, You can ' t miss it! is not far away from the bridge.
