On board to famous and romantic Venice Island :)

Tour leader D said MUST TRY squid ink pasta in Venice....

So all of us had black tongue that afternoon hahahaa....

Venice is full of dark valleys :P

A glass factory, compulsory in our itinery... 

(for tour leader's extra earning i mean)

Demonstration of glass deco making...

Amazingly, this guy can make a horse in a minute!!!

So sad that we missed the chance to try gondola in Venice :(

With only 2 hours free time in such a big tourist historical and fun island, 

we have to sacrifice some of the must-do activities.

Tour leader D, bringing a blue umbrella for us to follow him throughout the walk as there were tons of tourists walking along. 

Random shots of the houses in Venice, still artistic.
