• murano

  last part of our venice adventure was spent in murano. where all guide books suggests a visit to one of the many glass making factory in this island made famous by its glass produce. but guess what?! its all a hoax! we never saw any furnaces and the closest to seeing the making of those famous glasses was in this tiny shop where the guy was melting the glass to shape into a rectangle to be part of a necklace! so potong stim. oh and also another shop where the guy was shaping the glass into a horse... sien. i wanted to see some glass blowing .

   
  floating fruit stall?
  
   
  omg the moment i saw it, it reminded me alot of snoopy, a friend's dog
  i miss you alot too snoopy! i will come back and erm, carry you if you promise to stop licking me toes!
  
  
  
  
  
   
  the back of Basilica dei Santi Maria e Donato.
  this facade is so (insert adjective) it looks.... fake. the moment i saw it i thought it came straight out of an architecture model!
  
  
  sticking out like a sore thumb
  
  
  i always wondered and still wondering how is hanging the clothes in the middle of the line possible... without a tall ladder of course 
  
  
  
   
  at one of the many vaporetto stops awaiting the arrival of a vaporetto to head to the train station for florence the very pretty and my favourite city of italy out of the three we visited .
