I never planned to visit Venice but my imaginary girlfriend forced me to bring her to the city of water. Took me 6 hours to reach Venice from Rome by train. The main public transport in Venice is water taxi and it is quite costly and over my budget. I ride these taxis to visit Murano, Burano and Torcello Islands. I used to sell Murano glasses in Greenwich Market with my friend so I am thrilled to visit Murano Island since it is famous for glass-making. The best way to enjoy Venice is to just wander around without wanting to get anywhere in particular. I confess, I am a claustrophobic but getting lost in the labyrinth of Venice is fun, like playing a real life maze. After tired of walking, I took a time to sunbathe at St. Mark Square while enjoy watching people taking pictures and feeding pigeons in front of St. Mark’s Basilica. Gondola ride is expensive but it is one of the must-do activities in Venice. Sharing with 5 other tourists, it cost us 120 euros for 40 mins ride in the evening. It was a pleasure ride as the gondolier took us to Dorsoduro, a quiet area that away from hustle and bustle of San Marco. While enjoying the sunset and the night lights of Venice, the gondolier sang O Sole Mio, eventhough we forced him to do so. It was an enchanted experience!
