Venice | 2019
1st stop with my family who came to europe to visit me on my exchange programme. Beyond staying in Venice, we took a day trip and visited the 3 nearby islands, Burano, Murano, Torcello.

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal.

Typical touristy Gondola ride.
[For centuries, the gondola was a major means of transportation and the most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times, the boats still do have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (small ferries) over the Grand Canal operated by two oarsmen.]
Venice is a place my mum really wanted to visit and I think they really enjoyed it.
Till now, my mum and sis are still talking about the pasta we ate at a corner restaurant..
