Europe tour diary-Venice, Italy

3 may Friday Yin

In the morning, we took the bus from Villach, Venice to Italy.

From Austria into Italy, window's Vista obviously different, mountains and hills, forests and valleys are gone, replaced by flat plain, even the grass is no longer green so fascinating.

Venice is located in the North-Eastern Italy Adriatic Riviera, is the world's most "water city" from 118 small islands, 100 more canals and 400 bridges.

The bus arrives in Venice, the first sitting water bus to man slave Island, the island has hand blown glass craft described and live demonstration, you can enjoy those multicolored décor of glass products, but their prices are very expensive, plus the majority of the Group has bought Crystal jewelry, no need to buy glass jewelry, so, if you are not interested in visiting here, it means wasted in one-third of your time in Venice. On the island, my photo taken his first Venice Grand Canal (Figure 1).

And then we sat on a water bus, go to the city center of Venice: Rialto guest on the island.

In the water bus, I see there are many wood piles near waterways, and each wood piles on CMS a Seagull, very interesting it taken down (Figure 2). Then he took a photo of the "water bus and small stone" (Figure 3). In this water bus, Italy, boats, also extremely ornate Bel Canto baritone, active as we sang the song "my solar Act! is authentic, beautiful! but applause when we want him to come a time, he could not sing. The guide said that this is the rules here, you don't have to chase, also said that he is an amateur singer, often clubbing concert (paid), do, boats, just more playing one job.

Water bus arrives at the San Marco square and Rialto Island, we got off the boat.

In this water bus terminal, my camera and a small bridge (Figure 4). A guided walk along the coast, we move towards San Marco square. Soon, there will be a guest of the attractions of a Bell Tower, plus a walk in the eyes of the Dove, I videotaped it (Figure 5), it seems that here too there is a boat pier. Then, I was on the other side of the "St. George Cathedral, busy pressing the shutter (Figure 6), see also the Weathervane Tower in front of a characteristic, you do not want to pass up (Figure 7). The Italy of Dr. martial fighting tall bronze statue in front of the cabin are competing to lift the camera, I certainly won't give up (Figure 8). In a company named the hotel DANIELI, tour guide told us that Jiang Zemin's visit to Venice, collapse here. I found that the building is indeed a difference (Figure 9).

Guest is coming, there is a macro, the magnificent buildings really is unmatched! later learned that it is the House, also called tokary Palace.

This is their side (Figure 10), the top of the statue of the legendary sword in hand, the very resistant. We finally met heard its a "bridge" (figures 11, 12). Bridge connecting tokary Palace and the old prison, it is said that the last death have been here to torture chamber, they pierced the side from the bridge of the little window see the beauty of the Earth, all the elements, bridge so there.

Finally arrived at the San Marco square.

Venetian on instructions from the Patron Saint Mark, the city built in the square. Plaza entrance suddenly stand two tall cylindrical (fig 13), a pillar stood a body having a flying wing of the male lion, symbol of faith and power, this is Venice city emblem "flying Lion columns"; another pole is a hand-held wands and balance of powers and the goddess, the symbol of Justice, this is the protection of sacred Fedor column. As regards the distance can see the tall Bell Tower, 98.6 meters high, is the tallest buildings in Venice, it is Italy's most beautiful library, known as the guest library (Figure 14). Opposite is a magnificent library in the Duke's House, front 36 root cylindrical, Chambers Gallery has 72 root shape elegant columns, extraordinary (Figure 15, 16, 17, 18). A feast for the entire building, worth seeing a hundred times. It is also called tokary Palace. San Marco's Cathedral (Figure 19, 20) and the great Bell Tower is the guest on Pearl. The Bell Tower is maintenance, cannot see. The Cathedral was built in 1073, the Church at the top to five elegant circular arches (Figure 20), arches four horse statue (Figure 21), a legendary 3 century b.c., is a masterpiece of looting by Napoleon to Paris up to 17 years, until he defeated Waterloo to things to its owner. Each arch have color painting statue decoration and all, with median large garden arches above the embossed and statue most display rich, magnificent (Figure 22). The Church in front of three mast, in large church ceremony, filled with colorful flags. As for color, oil painting on the arch, it is said that only a site is authentic (Figure 23), the other 4 sites are copies. On one side and the Cathedral, opposite Regent Palace Museum and the Le ER (Figure 24, 25). In this, boisterous sqare of Earth, thousands are not afraid of people everywhere to feed the pigeons and doves, pigeons, of all visitors (Figure 26, 27), but also sell pigeon food (Figure 27) or selling fake face mask of the vendors (Figure 28, 29). In the Carnival on the false face mask (Italy mask), the Venice of crafts, very distinctive. Suddenly, the pigeons, a cute dog, is host to hold, when I put the camera on the dog, the owner is very sorry that I had a weird samples (Figure 30). Pigeons and tourists in the square above ground or hand feeding, sometimes in stunning buildings to soar above (Figure 31, 32), constitute the portraits of the different styles of the screen. Just when I excitedly constantly looking for target shooting, suddenly thought of the collection time may be coming, a look at the table, there are also 5 minutes, I immediately three step and made two steps to the beach and want to take the last piece of scenery photo, but the result because too many people, objectives, and haven't been made into. I ran back to the front of the Cathedral, late gathering place for half a minute to a minute, but our team has vanished! I waited ten minutes, do not wait, still have to find them, because soon there will be a lunch, I vaguely remember tourist guides say, let's go to dinner, and is also used for Jiang ZeminOver dinner. So I have always been the DANIELI hotel when passing through all the way to rush into the past, ask for meals, China team to get a negative reply, I quickly broke down, I'm like a cat on a hot, around blind transfer, blind to find, has run to extremes, and ran back to the collection, even I still look like a police man in English that I lost, can't find my mission, but he didn't give me. In my time of the shooting crazy looking, as tired and anxious, not body almost support, fortunately, finally managed to resist, not a big problem. Finally, there is no way, I can only be executed in the collection, etc. the Guide came to me. About waited 40 minutes, finally see the Guide to me, I'm afraid he will curse me, busy explained, I only half a minute, the guide said, find comfort me, well, all right, no matter what other people call, he is dead. He let me turn into a transcend alley, seven turned eight, go very far, to get to lunch, what seems to be named Hangzhou Hotels. Although the Group had used up lunch, tour guide gave me a lunch of fried noodles, a tin of Sprite, we also go to sit gondola. Seated gondola is at your own expense, half an hour for 20 euros, equivalent to 160 Yuan RMB. Because I have seen on many materials that take the most exploited, in fact, the gondola ride along the same water bus to preal be visible. So I didn't participate in this project, at its own expense, you can take advantage of their time sitting gondola, eating my lunch. After lunch, I videotaped their upper gondola Terminal, as it happens, a beautiful hotel next to the terminal by a window, just a beautiful young people are smiling to the probe, and the young workers are starting to make shao vessels (Figure 33). I also bought two opposite shop with cat pattern postcard, per 0.80 euros, equivalent to 6.50 Yuan. The postcard picture are very juicy, one is in the brick wall plaque Peel is a large and a small two squared wooden Windows, small window sill of a cat, just over looked with large window sill of a pair of dark gray pigeons. Another is in the same spot stripping of walls II building junction there mouth rather distinctive large baking pan, Pan, lives a quiet rest is cat.

Waiting for the return of the boat people, I look back on this lost causes, in fact, the guide is a great responsibility, because no noses, just ask the people who had not arrived, listen to everybody cried out together, they open up, not even a minute wait.

So the tour this time didn't criticize me, only I don't make a sound.

Because I lost, I heard the second guide not to eat lunch, moreover, to provide a good return water bus of the hour is missed, to change the frequency by the other, but also in the terminal patient.

Promised to all shopping time and had to cancel, to this end, several members of the Group pointed to my call. I had to press tour, coming to do not. From the gondola Pier towards water bus terminals of the trip, I took a picture of "Santa Maria Church and street lights on the pigeons" (Figure 34). Waiting around, there are two souvenir kiosk, I took the opportunity to buy a collapsing-Venice small picture book, similar to the one small postcards, of 2 euro (about 16 yuan renminbi), 24, is much cheaper to buy postcards. Also bought a pair of color is yellow and Brown, printed on Leopard pattern of generous silk scarves (my favorite cat, including big cats), of 5 US dollars (equivalent to RMB No 42).

Finally also sit on the water bus.

In order to take pictures, I didn't sit back in the machinery, is standing at cabin. I filmed sqare view (Figure 35) and water bus and the Church of the Virgin Mary (Figure 36).

After disembarkation, I'm an African Black pendulum crafts stands, of 10 euro (equivalent to 83 yuan renminbi) bought a only a red bow of blue eyes wood cat.

The price was expensive, because there's no time then counter-offer. In Venice buy African cat may be a small error, on behalf of the merchant of Venice as blacks!

5: 30 pm, we hand size luggage, very hard to sit up from Venice to Rome by train.

Five hours after arriving in Rome has long favored.
