3 Guys & 3 Girls. Venice Day1, Jan 25

Started our journey up towards Venice after buying some souvenirs in Piazza del Duomo. This is the square where the Leaning Tower of Pisa is situated.

Fools on the road.

And this was how much we had to pay for a full tank. 80euro = RM400!
Now that's something....

Reached Venice around 2PM. Venice is the capital city of Veneto region in Northern Italy. Had to park outside of the city since cars are not allowed on the street of Venice. Venice is so-called the city of water. So yes, they use boats and water taxis over there.

I find Venice very interesting and quiet. There are no motor vehicle on the street. I like this kind of serenity. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything much in Venice unless if we are willing to spend on theater and stuff like that. I would love to watch a theater performance and classical concerts, but I don't think the rest would be interested in those kind of stuff. Venice is popular with its performing arts. I'll definitely come again later in the future.

Had a short rest after checking into our hotel rooms.... oh wait, it was a long rest. Everyone was so tired because of the long walk we had to take from the car park to the hotel. It wasn’t easy finding our way along the allies of Venice. And besides, we all woke up super early that morning. We had to let the drivers have their rest.

It was already after dark when we left the hotel. Went to Hard Rock Cafe. Hehehe... another addition to my pin collection. Gosh, it was so cold that night. Hahaha... yeah, we all study in Moscow. But we didn’t expect it would be this cold. So we weren’t really prepared for the cold.

Gondolas parked in front of Hard Rock Cafe.

Despite the cold wind blowing hard that night, it didn't stop us cam-freaks from having fun taking pictures.

Just beautiful....

We took a lot of long exposure photos since there were beautiful lights around San Marco Square (Piazza San Marco). But most of them are kinda blurry. You can't expect us to stand perfectly still, holding our breaths for 5 or 10 seconds when it was so cold. We were practically shivering!

Had a late dinner at a pizzeria. We gobbled down pizzas and kebabs. hahaha.. Went back to the hotel straight after dinner. We couldn't stand the cold any longer.
