Venezia Santa Lucia : The Italian Job

So the next morning after spending a day in Milan, Giant and I took a train to Venice. You must be thingking that we were going to one of the most beautiful places in the world. You thought since you watched The Italian Job and in that movie Venice was so damn beautiful, you figured that we might be having the time of our lives over there. Well, that's just bullshit!! We covered everthing in just one day. And I quote from Nick Gani "Venice is over-rated coz in the movies you see the city with beautiful views and everything ... only when you go there baru sedar there's nothing big in the city." Panjang tuh quote jgn main2 but Nick already warned me about Venice before I went on my Eurotrip.

I mean there were nice views but not as extravagant or bizarre as the Hollywood movies make you think it would look like. Even the water is dirty, seriously. It was just as dirty as Sungai Gombak but this one was green. Dekat bangunan tuh boley nampak lumut2 from the greenish water.

There were only 2 interesting places pon kat Venice, the bridge and the St. Marco Square. Forgot the name of the bridge though. And then the gondolas. At first, Giant and I thought of going for it but after covering everything in just one day, rase cam x menarik plak. King Kong said "kalau gi ngan awek xpe gak .. nih gi ngan ko." Macam aku nak je naik ngan die. Si King Kong tuh naik gondola tuh garenti tenggelam terus .. mmg selamat aa die x naik ngan awek die nanti tenggelam skali krohkrohkroh.

Another thing, when both of us were enjoying the scenery nih, suddenly came 3 Italian police officers asking for our passports. Gua pon menggelabah aa x pasal2 masuk lokap. Nanti kene ketuk ketampi dlm keadaan berbogel ... ngan Giant plak tuh .. nasib malang aa gamaknye. Thank god it was nothing but the funny thing was the officer x pasal2 tanye pasal Sandokan. Gua pon pelik aaa apehal tetibe Sandokan plak nih. Selamat Giant teringat Sandokan the Malayan Tiger, cartoon zaman dahulu kala. Apparently, kat Italy Sandokan is quite famous. Siap ade movie lagi.

As you can see, mmg x menarik Venice nih.

This is the view from the Rialto Bridge, baru teringat. Gua tgh amik video awek krohkrohkroh.

This is the St. Marco Church which right in front of St. Marco Square. Busy gile area nih

This is the Square. Penuh gile ngan burung sial sume gemok2 asyik kene suap ngan kacang2. Actually best gak bagi makan kat burung. Skali bagi mmg 50 burung dtg kerumun

Posing with the gondolas. Belakang tuh either a church or something like that kot. I didn't go coz kalau nak gi kene naik bot and aku nak saving. So amik gamba dr jauh je la gamaknye

This is somewhere near St. Marco Square. ramai org but nice view.

Gua x posing tapi pengayuh gondola tuh yg posing

Gua melayan emosi

We stayed in Venice for 3 nights and the 3rd day, we didn't know what to do. Dah cover everything so jln pusing2 buat bodoh je. What a waste.

Next : Firenze Santa Maria Novella (Florence)
