A taste of Venice

Late at night, from Rome, take the overnight train, in order to be able to get the expensive paper than stay in Venice.

Train departure time was 1 and a half hours, while Italy's Intercity trains operated (Intercity) of the first class, but also do not need to subsequently sit Eurostar (Eurostar) of the second strength, demonstrated once again the facts, what you pay for a price. Finally, the train passed through the 4 km long connection continent and Venice free bridge, Venice in the early morning mist gradually clear up.

Seven in the morning with Venice, from the car down, out of the station is dragging luggage to their dispersion, and noodles decided to walk to the hotel.

Passerby rarely, only after the open-air fish market in time to see the busy stall operators.

Standing at the Rialto Bridge, look at both sides of the water and the construction of housing, the moment of the Grand Canal is fresh and tender, this is known as the world's only wholly built in water city, nature is not a big difference.

Leave the luggage, then go out and found that it started raining in broken fragments of raindrops, may day is half a fine, or sweep sweeping a night without sleep tired.

Later, the Bell Tower of St. mark, the flying Lion, bridge, Dora, a book side side see name then appear in the eyes of time, or not fussing with camera a restaurant confusion by

In the afternoon, the sea, the Sun is out, the morning in the square was originally a spatter only three two pigeons, but don't know where all ran out, turning in a crowd pleasing to food, taking advantage of our two ready to head back in this hot hotels fill a NAP in the afternoon.

Come out from the hotel, is close to five o'clock in the afternoon, the day is not hot, sea breeze slightly brushed, two Norwegian College of hurrying across the bridge (Ponte di accademia), located in the South of the Zattere to Grand Canal. And St. Mark's fuss is very different, the Zattere, the quiet hangs in the air of the Sun is gone for a noon, two of the long shadow of the coastal road. Find a home in the open air restaurant in linhai, ready to eat while watching sunset.

Beautiful sunset made up for the dinner and the night starts over the city of a hundred islands, we rushed to the pier, is ready to take the water bus tour of the Grand Canal.

Night of Venice, Grand Canal shadow shines the light of a teleoperation Yi on the shore, the Grand Canal at the moment is silent and mysterious.

In the Golden Palace in a boat, the daytime yellow Golden Palace, in the Moonlight of SUMI, seem a bit chilly. Wear Street alley, the only way you yellow lights, street and then buy a sweet ice cream kaolao himself.

Close to return to the hotel late at night, some weary, a beautiful hot bath, leaning on the bed watching pictures, the weather forecast said the next day will be fine.

The next day in the hotel too simple breakfast, go out, it really is a good weather.

According to plan, we have set off towards the Rialto Bridge and St. Paul.

Sao Paulo and Rialto Bridge is the oldest residential area of Venice, it is very lively, streets lined with shops of all colors, fruit and vegetable stands mixture in which, in the adjacent to the Grand Canal in a Gothic portico is a cool morning open-air fish market (Campo di Pescaria). And broad St. Mark's square and the comfort of the Zattere, the District more life. We also take leisurely promenaded up.

Near noon, passing through a supermarket, in complement of some "ammunition", and then return to the hotel, down our procurement "loot" and enjoy our "ammunition".

In the afternoon, we will begin our tour of the island.

Take the water bus 41 road from Saint Marc S.Zaccaria pier all the way to the North, we start to glass Island (Isola Murano), this small island looks like a small Venice, a small Canal in the island, in the Murano's Collona terminals have disembarked, glass factory workers guide visitors glass manufacturing process, the visit is free of charge, if you prefer you can give a tip.

The island has many shops selling glass products, but really nice is priceless, so we are making of window shopping. The Glass Museum Island, the island to the other side, we have no time.

In Murano has a white Lighthouse Faro Terminal transfer LN line water bus, further to the Northeast for about half an hour boat ride, we went to color Island (Isola Burano).

Burano island is a traditional hand-made lace and satin lace production base. This small island is really like in the fairy tale of, each House was painted bright colors, and the adjacent housing colors are different. Relative to Murano and Burano island in Venice, more compact leisure. To always hold in hands of maps into a backpack, we start visiting West on the island. In this lovely little island, just let me do an Alice, even getting lost is fun.

In order to be able to see the World Cup, we cancelled the Lido Island Beach to watch the sunset, June of Venice, the sunset until 9 o'clock in the evening, so the previous day's night, we had already seen in the Zattere. sunset

The third day at noon, sitting on the return trip on the train, look at Venice died away, rowing, there are a lot of exciting yet, the heart of Venice with imagination, life is not the only one time.

I was standing on the bridge of sighs of Venice; one side is the Palace, one side is the prison.

I see the whole building jump out, like a blow by the sorcerer magic wand.

Millennium disappearing, infinite glory in the distant smile.

Enjoy flying Lion marble stone pile, Venice meditation on the island.
