Venice day 2 (honeymoon day 5)
Day 2 in venice started bright and early as i wanted to pop by the rialto old market or also known as the tourist market. Its basically a wet market (my kind of thang) and der is quite amused that i want to go to a wet market. Well, find the culture is rich and the sights colorful and the bustling effect, a joy to watch. The vegetables section. Didnt see anything interesting thats different here. The seafood section amazes me!

Continuation of venice.
Pardon me, the previous post was cut off abruptly because the lj app refused to let me edit it any further (just keeps crashing) and though i tried i think at least 40 times, i decided to post it and edit it latet but i still didnt work. So yup, decided to continue in a separate post! Here’s another picture of xsilly being ‘tortured’ by der. I think der just like being irritating. And here’s our lunch! Steak for me.. Vongole for the boy. If you read on, you’ll realise that the boy is really quite boring and not experimental with his food! So far, he only eats this and…

Venice
Arriving in venice gave us a rude shock. Der was thinking we could pretty much take the taxi anywhere (from train stations to hotels etc) but there are no land taxis in venice, only water taxis. This is one place where for 2 whole days, i didnt see a single vehicle and not even a bicycle travelling on the cobberstones ground. Everything was pretty much via water. Arriving at 11.30pm at night is the other nightmare. Most of the waterbuses stopped operation (anyway, we didnt know which to take anyway cos the ticketing counters were closed) so we lugged our luggages and walked through the streets of venice. And we…

Honeymoon day 3 – milan to florence to pisa to florence to venice.
Its a day of neverending train rides! Checking out of our hotel in milan ay 6.30am in the morning. Self shot at recept. Did you spot the new miu miu? Check out my messy hair. Cant quite bother to maintain in italy especially with the winds blowing it into a mess every other moment. One last shot of the duomo in darkness. We didnt have dinner the night before because we were too tired and all der did was buy macs back while i collapsed in bed. Trenitalia. Expensive rides. Think we spent close to €400 for all the train rides that we’ll be taking for the entire trip. I…

More of the duomo in milan.
I have no idea why i couldnt continue the earlier post. It keeps crashing when i tried to edit it. Like after 20 tries, decided to post it abd continue in a separate post. X.silly visits the duomo too! V excited! A shot with me and a shot, all by himself. Duomo and part of the piazza below. Love this shot of the piazza with the shadow of the duomo. Right at the roof top. This is the other side of the duomo where its equally beautiful. I think i could easily spend the entire day there at the roof top reading a book or something but i had to…

Honeymoon day 2 – roaming around milan.
Its the duomo visiting day! Funny how we didnt visit it the first day especially since it was just in front of our hotel! According to der, he said this is one of the grandest duomo he has ever seen. I cant decide between the one that i have seen in spain and this, but grand indeed it was. Frontal view. Taken at an angle. Us with the duomo. The interior with really tall ceilings. The beautiful stained glass windows thats not showing clearly from my phone camera. The intricate designs at the front of the duomo and the beautiful paintings hanging. All the monumentos in the duomo. This part…

Pottering around milan.
Some random streets of milan while heading towards our hotel! Our hotel! Hotel rio, just round the corner from the famous piazza duomo. It was still v early and we dumped the bags under the care of the hotel and headed off! First up, headed to the central train station to buy our train tickets for the rest of the trip.. Nice tall building with beautiful ceilings and intricate wall designs. I didnt manage to take a picture of the main facade, but it wasa grand building with 2 winged horse statues at the side. Guess what is the first food i ate in italy?! Its a magnum gold! At…

Day 2 of married life.

Our adventure begins NOW! Posted on 7.09am [milan clock] and 1.09pm [spore clock]. Wish i had intermet access wherever i go. Could you see the sunrise from the distant? Pardon the dusty stained windows. Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

it’s almost midnight
urgh. watching the clock and it ticking closer to midnight, i am sad to announce that my holidays stress-free days are over. it’s back to the office tomorrow. chatted with kenties earlier in the evening and he said i seemed to be in a good mood today. he’s not exactly right, but i think i am more relaxed because i have no work to rush. there is, but till now, i am still unwilling to log into my office webmail. that could wait when im back tomorrow since my colleagues already updated me that there is nothing much that’s so important that couldn’t wait. there is a lot of photos…
