Cruising in Venice, Italy

Brought back tons of memories as if I've been here before, when I first laid eyes on this view.
Must be those Hollywood scenes. And needless to say, I just gotta immortalize such a sight...

Chiesa di Santa Maria Formosa - Venice, Italy

When it comes to church, St. Mark's Basilica is without a doubt the one most identified with Venice. But it's definitely not the only one. Church of Santa Maria Formosa is one out of many churches all over the globe dedicated to St. Mary. Unfortunately it was close during my visit.

St. Mark's Basilica - Venice, Italy

May not be as grandeur as St. Peter's, but St. Mark's Basilica is not less enchanting surely...

Sadly I don't even remember the name of this place. All I can remember was that I was exploring the city when I came across this building. The beautiful sculpture and setting immediately captivated me. A true beauty.

Experiencing The Grand Canal in Venice, Italy

Experiencing the Grand Canal from Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy, in my humble opinion should be in every traveler's list of "101 things to do before you die". No words can quite express how I felt at the time. But if I must, bellissima...

Lost in Venice.

Lost in Venice. And I'm afraid it's more than just a catchy tagline. As a first timer, the place was like a maze to me. There was one too many alley like this one, sometimes looked all but similar, which was especially challenging for a person with "fair" if not to say "poor" sense of direction like myself. But as they put it, getting lost here in this beautiful place is part of the treat.

 

Rialto Bridge - Venice, Italy

The iconic, must visit spot in Venice, Rialto Bridge. Whether you're in for people watching or simply enjoying the beautiful view of Grand Canal, you just can't afford to miss this place. Unfortunately during my visit there was a political demonstration by some youngsters happening right here, so I couldn't take a front view shot of the bridge. This picture is the best I can do considering the circumstances.
