Italy-Day 8

The eighth day 2008.6.13 Venice

8: 38 am by train to Venice.

11: 17, ES, 34 euro. To Venice, raining, it's very cold.

Fortunately, the hotel was nearby, out of the station to the left for about 200 meters.

Rooms haven't packed, check-in time is 2: 00 pm. However, the staff is very kindly let us first put your luggage to the room, very small room, with luggage, almost only one person can stand space. This is 120 euro, Venice really expensive.

The attendant hurried we put things away, what travel information are not get, plus still raining, decided to go to dinner, wait until the two into the room got things began to play.

Ate a piece at the railway station, 2.3 Europe, Pizza stand to eat.

And then to start on the road in front of the hotel. The rain started small, everywhere is selling glass products and mask shops, Nice. Before you know it is going to stop a long road.

1: 30 back to the hotel, the room was packed, and a bit of rest, the rain stopped, day lit up and ready to go.

In front of the station to station Ferrvia bought 24 hour Pass 16 euro.

From the first Validate date of 24 hours. 42 road and on the left side of the road are DM can visit the island of Murano glass. First check the timetable on the platform, this is every boarding should do. Get tickets to a yellow sticker on the machine that will show your ticket is also valid, what time. Each ship will have to do it in several tourists many stations have staff standing at the entrance to remind everyone.

Sat 42 road to Murano (DM will more directly, stops, the frequency or less), about 25 minutes.

First take water bus, very excited to finally feel in Venice.

The weather was cold, it is estimated that 20 degrees are not, the island's wind large rough-hewn, makes our travel guides.

A little window shopping, stores are the same. As the display of large things are good, but also as accessories are very large, more suitable for the big European people. Stroll to the white lighthouse of the station (ashore prior to seeing its general location) by LN to Burano island in color.

Sailing almost 40 minutes, and is crowded, even the seats are not.

From Burano to Lido or guest boats are one hour, so arrive is a good idea to look after their return. Color is not responsible for the island its name, it pretty much.

See the previous travels, also found Trattroia restaurant to go to dinner.

As a result they are packing up close, and then in the adjacent Goluppi ate. Plus we have two tables. Italy people serving are generally very slow, but today it is quite fast, otherwise I have to worry about missed ships six thirty. Six, leaving us in the shop as a table; the boss man all around the shop after watching TV. This is to think of it, today is the European Cup group game in Italy and Romania, on a field in the Netherlands lost to Italy. No wonder why so few people along the way, perhaps to Trattroia see autumn before even the business not to do. Visible effects of football in Italy. We asked for the seafood Spaghetti and fried squid, taste good. The normal price.

Time 18: 30 boat go, almost an hour to sqare, Zaccaria stop.

On my way to the square, walk through bridge. Will not miss it, because there will be lots of people there to take pictures.

Ponte dei Sospiri bridge

Sigh bridge built in 1603, the bridge on the death of sigh.

Bridge House link at both ends and Venice is an ancient prison, the prison escort by the courts of death. Sigh bridge modeling an early Baroque style, the bridge is the housing of the upper dome cover, closed very tight, only one side of the Canal has two small Windows that when the prisoner for trial in the House, to criminals are brought to the Dungeon, this dense impermeable bridge, only through the small window and see the sky, then lost freedom, not independent voice of sighing.

There is also an interesting legend, a prisoner saw former lovers at the other end of the bridge and the new love intimacy, a deep sigh, sigh bridge became a witness to the love of lovers, it is said that the lovers kissing under the bridge can last forever, the movie "love Manhattan Bridge" (A Little Romance) is in the viewfinder.

After the Governor's Palace and the tower to the square.

To Venice to guest's little, not to the square of the Café coffee equals didn't see half of Venice.

1615, high-spirited Venice businessmen coffee beans into Europe; 1683, Europe's first coffee house was opened in Venice; and the 1720 years in sqare sells coffee Café Florian has jammed. The square is Venice's most veteran of three Cafe Café Florian (door placed white chairs), Café Quadri (door placed red chairs), Café Chioggia (door display yellow Chair), a ride in Balzac, a ride in Hemingway, a ride in Wagner, coffee is a wonderful Italy quality.

Today, come here for coffee guests may not so famous, and most of all is the life of only once.

MIC's no longer a coffee scent and mood, which is the ferry schedule, or a Palace, the Museum's opening hours.

Three are the band.

We sat in the Quadri, must have been cold and not too many people. Waiters are dressed in a white suit, and high is handsome. On a happy face deportation, specifically refers to the menu at the bottom line of small print. Because of the band performances, sit down to charge 5.7 Europe. I asked for a glass of Caffe Latte 8.5 Europe, 12 euro Tramisu. You gasp! but it tastes really good, this is the foreigner to do business, you will certainly value for money. Subsequently eaten 3 Europe 提拉米苏, is not so delicate taste really like 12 euro. Three Cafe music Emporium, our side is Jazz, a waltz. Whenever the music sound, there will be a bunch of visitors stop.

Sat jiudianduo leave.

Sat 1-way back, stop at each station, almost 100 m to a station. Want to see the canal slowly, then you can sit on the boat. Almost 40 minutes to come back to Ferrvia station.
