VENICE: The No-Car-Zone

Venice was one of the places which i enjoyed most. perhaps it was because of the company i went with. three cranky boys (weichung, chicken-back-side and benni), as well as my cousin sister Lea.

Venice is all about rivers and canals...


Also, gondolas and vaporetti...



And not forgetting, those gondoliers at their service...



The whole island is in fact a strictly no-car-zone! Ohhh, with exceptions like this below:-

~the only car seen on the island throughout our stay~

Besides, Italy is famous for its gelato. And among all the gelati we've tried in the four cities visited, Chicken-Back-Side and I agreed that this particular shop in Venice offers the best choice. :) we visited this shop at least twice! The picture below shows how CBS swooned at the sight of the italian gelati!!




There is a place in Venice which nobody could have possibly missed. It's the Piazza San Marco. Here's a picture of cousin Benni, feeding the famous pigeons at the Piazza. (credit to cbs for the picture :p)


Oh, feeding the pigeons may seem exhilarating, but it can turn out disastrous sometimes!!

Seems fun at first...


Gradually, when you attract more pigeons, the number increases exponentially!! Like this...



And before you knew it, you are under attack although you have nothing else to feed them!!


And the flock will feed until NOTHING is left!!!
