venice 20/09- 23/09

im so not used to the cold weather here.when i cook,i hv to throw on a jacket because the kitchen windows will be opened to ventilate the place.and when i take hot baths,i want to stay in there forever,afraid to step out to get my towel in the cold.so we were in venice for the weekend.maybe it was colder there cuz we were by the waters.also, we stayed at some campsite.so without the bustle of the city,the place is colder(?).
so this is venice in the day,

and this is venice at night

venice is pretty small,im guessing it's smaller than singapore.BUT,we got lost ALL three days.it was somehow impossible to maneuver through all the small alleys.but we were warned by lonely planet so...all i can say is,my poor feet!after walking forever!!!we FINALLY found the main venues of the venice biennale.


this was definitely one of the highlights of the trip because we wouldnt have anything else to do for the next 3 days.we also went to gallerie dell' accademia and collezione peggy guggenheim where i saw my first original picasso!err, it was called half of man in stripes(?).i also saw the poet!which was totally thrilling for me : ) of course it was also thrilling to see the originals of mondrian,rothko,miro,kandinsky,etc but nothing was more amazing than the fact that one peggy guggenheim owned all that!
just other randoms at venice...
