At last my 100 pictures have been uploaded. Now I show you where we have been to what we did etc ...

We left early in the morning on Saturday, and arrived late in the eving on Sunday on the Island Albarella where we stayed in a apartment.

On the Island you really have everything you need, a Mall, a fish shop, pizza delivery, restaurants, 4 star hotel, golf, mini golf, etc ...

So it was pretty easy for us to get food and all. But we didn't really do much on the Island, we did mini golf and ordered pizza but for the rest we really just went to visit places. Mostly Venice.

I am now going to show you some pics during the time we drove to Italy from Belgium.

What Venice is so famous for the Gondelo, it costs pretty much to do it. 80 Euros each per person for 30 min. or 40.

20100406042.jpg


The most famous point in Venice is the point around the big bridge.

20100406043y.jpg


Same point of view but latter on

20100406062.jpg


Taken on the bridge looking to the big stream that runs thourgh Venice. (I personally find this a very beautiful picture.)

20100406066.jpg


The sam pic showed before only now a better view of the shops as you can see.

20100406067.jpg


I find this a very funny pic, its a pizza in the form of a Gondola :yea

20100406072.jpg


Here we leave Venice for the first day with a boat to our car back to the main land.

20100406074.jpg


Saint Marco Squire from a long distance

20100406075.jpg


A huge church. I basically can't undertand how such heavy buildings can stand on water
icon_question.gif
Anyway its fantastic the managed to do it. :thumbup:

Now I will show you pics of a little island village that is close to Venice called (Murano) That place is very know for there works of glass you will see in the pics bellow.

20100407006.jpg


Beautiful creations, there are ALOT of shops that sell and dispay glass creations

20100407019.jpg


Candy in the form of glass, I am very sure it will break very fast when you buy it and take it all the way back to where you came from. Its all of course very costy. Like you can see in the 3d and 4th pic.

20100407022.jpg


Yet an other of my favorite pics

20100407022.jpg


20100407028.jpg


Inside a shop

20100407028.jpg


20100407042.jpg


We have seen most of Murano now and wait for a boat to pic us up. While I see one of the stake complety rotten away. I saw many of those, one day I know it the hole place will fall down,collapse.

Now we are not going home with our boat but to yet an other island called Burano, a 5 min. boat tip from Murano.( Burano) is famous for its colorful buidlings.

20100407043.jpg


Burano is just like any village there, with streams and bridges everywhere. Its quite a nice view.

20100407055.jpg


20100407056.jpg


20100407060.jpg


20100407064.jpg


This is also one of the best pics I find

20100409002.jpg


Before we went to Murano and Burano we had a fantastic dinner

20100409002.jpg


20100407072.jpg


20100407080.jpg


Now we also leave Burano, we did both on the same day the villages.

20100407087.jpg


A nice view of the sun going down taken from the boat. We now got to go back all the way to Venice then from Venice a boat to our car, and then from our car to our stay. Thats long belief me.

Venice again

20100410000.jpg


I don't know what to say of this one. But I can only tell its magic, fantastic talent. He plays music on those glasses, he makes his fingers weat and plays on them. O if you could hear how beautiful it is o my its really something you must have seen.

20100410001.jpg


20100410003.jpg

To the fish market, and explore the student district.

20100410005.jpg


Also a quite interesting bridge to take a look at.

20100410005.jpg


We have to wait at the bridge on a boat that will take us very close to the fish market. Its almost 12.00 meaning the fish market will end very soon.

20100410006.jpg


ON the boat taken

20100410021.jpg


We where lucky to be in time, most of the fish was already gone, but my dad was happy he could still look around and see some of the fish they offer.

20100410027.jpg


20100410030.jpg


part of the fish market, but all the fruit was still there, of course fish gets bad faster then fruit. After the fish market we explored Venice for a bit.

20100410043.jpg


Flavour put in a funny form

20100410047.jpg


Horses from glass

20100410053.jpg


Then we came bye a shop who offerd to make a card with the name of my sister on it. Quite lucky we where that she would do that for us.

20100410054.jpg

The famous bridge taken late in the evening

20100410128.jpg


I am not sure but I am thinking that is the townhall, anyway then we went back to our place and left Venice

Then we went to a city close to where we stayed called (Chioggia) We went to there also to see a fish market, only we came on the wrong day. And there was a other market of old stuff, furniture, etc ...

20100411001h.jpg


We finally saw also a creature in the water

20100411003.jpg

Last pic taken from our trip to Italy - Venice

Break taking pics if I may says so.

Thank you very much for viewing and I hope you enjoyed it. Took me a while to put in place.
 
Truly amazing photos! Thank you so much for the photos. We learned about Venice a couple weeks ago in history, but I never imagined it'd be that beautiful. Nice shots, couldn't have took them any better myself.

Oh how beautiful and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post these for us.
 
It's beautiful. Ever since I heard of it, I wanted to go there. I hope you had fun.
