aka. J the Chocoholic's trip to Italy Part 4A - Venice! (Note: Very photo heavy post)This is a bit delayed considering that my trip to Italy was well over 3 months ago but there's nothing wrong with sharing some pretty pictures, right?
:)
Fourth stop - VENICE!
1) Venice by night:
We had arrived in Venice at night at decided to brave the chilly weather to have a look around at night.....2) Water "taxi" to Venice:
Big vehicles are not allowed on Venice island (as it is sinking fast enough as it is, without the extra weight from all the tour busses) so we took a scenic boat ride over.....3) Carnivale!:
It was the time of the annual Carnivale so there was a lively festive feeling with.....
.... many little stalls,....
.... live shows (although I didn't understand a single word) and face-painting,.... 
... as well as many people walking around in elaborate costumes!That's about all I had time to load onto my online photo album.
I hope you enjoyed it....
Hugs,
J

ReplyDeleteI didn't take any photos of the illegal bag sellers (some of them look kinda "rough") but I saw many of them too!
:)
.... but dunno whether the "designer" hand bags they sell are imitations from China though....
*lol*
to sneexe:
Well, it was nice a surprise for me that it was Carnivale time!
Since I was going on a tour group with my parents I hadnt done any research at all (because you really don't get to make any variations from the group tour schedule).
to cc:
Well, thanks for that.
(Does this mean that you will be leaving nice or critical comments from now on?)
:)
... I don't really MSN anymore though (the last time I logged on was many many moons ago) but I'll add you on the next time I do lah, ok?
to meiyen:
Well, maybe you and your darling can go there for honeymoon?
:)
(For me, I'm lucky that my parents like to travel as much as I do - we don't buy many expensive things but save up for one nice trip every year)
that isn't my msn contact..
ReplyDeletei like your blog.. but this isnt about my comments atm =P

ReplyDeleteSorry for my cautiousness, but can you tell me what it's about first?
:)
(I hope you don't take offense - I'm just trying to be careful... I mean, you could be trying to sell me insurance or something...)

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI'm your make up artist!
I've found this pic looking for something new for carnival, and it was a surprise to find me!!!
Do you have more pictures of your make up?
To Poisonambra:
ReplyDeleteI can look in my computer for more photos of the Carnivale, but I'm afraid I may not be the person you think.
I'm not the person you were painting on. I was just passing by and admiring your work! Thanks for the message though. What a small world! :)
