Venice, Italy~a dream come true

Venice. September 7 2014

I celebrated my 27th birthday in Venice, Italy. I always dream to be able visit this city before. Their famous canals and gondola, plus the romantic feel of the city surrounding. Who doesn't want to have a chance visit Venice? We were maybe watched a lot of movies took Venice as their settings, for examples are Casino Royale 007 series, Lara Croft : Tomb Raider, Casanova, etc. The canals, alleyways and unusual architectural buildings enough to make me have a big desire to travel there. So, we decided to put Venice as one of the city in our prewedding trip route in Europe last September. Actually our prewedding trip was start from 30 August to 17 September 2014. My birthday date is within that date also. Because of the reasons mentioned before, I picked up Venice as my birthday celebration venue. And hey, George Clooney even chosed Venice as his wedding venue. So it wasn't a bad choice right?

Our Gondola trip moment, one of our unforgetable moment

How I do love this city

The famous bridge inside Venice, The Rialto Bridge

This bridge one of four bridge spanning the grand canal Venice and was the dividing line between the district of San Marco and San Polo

Gondola trip in Europe, 100 euros for 50 minutes. Actually, if you find and you are willing to share the ride with another people, strangers to be exact, who also want to hop in the same gondola with you, you will able to divided the price together with them.

Small bridge crossing the canal

How cute it is. The dog also enjoyed the boat ride. This boat also called as water taxi. You can choose either this boat or gondola to trip around the canals.

Dream come true, what a romantic city.

We came at the fall season in Italy, however It has a spring vibe, right?

2. Doge's Palace and Sigh of Bridge

Doge Palace is a palace built in Gothic style and one of the main landmark in Venice, the function of this building is as the residence of the Doge of Venice, the supreme authority of the Republic of Venice. The bridge of sigh used to serve as a link between the old and new prisons in the Doge's Palace. It is being named as Bridge of Sigh because the legend says that from this bridge, you can hear the sighs of the prisoners as they were being led to prison.
