It was a long day (19/10/2005) travel from Venezia to Vienna (Wein), fortunately the journey on the way was quite stunning, so it’s pretty enjoyable.

Love at first sight, that’s how I am going to describe Venice. I felt the sense of peace and relax at the moment I stepped on the floor of Venice, I didn’t really understand why, but I knew I was in love with Venice.
Craig, our guide gave us some simple instructions and brought us to a glass production house before giving us the free time to do whatever we like, since that me and my sister were not following any of the excursions program, we were having one whole day of free time in Venice, which proved a wise decision.
We started the day early, woke up at 545am just to Q-up for visiting Vatican. Well we were indeed the first group of people arrived, and the first group to get in at around 730am. We first visited the Vatican Musuem for some of its collection, but our main focus is the gallery and the painting inside the building. We did managed to visit the Sistine Chapel when it’s not very crowded, their artwork is amazing, it’s hard to imagine how Michaelangelo finished this masterpiece, it’s really impressive… too bad no photos allowed.
I forgot what this is, what looked weird..
The Roman Colosseum is huge! I knew it was big but never thought that it is THAT big, it’s taller than most of the modern stadiums nowadays.
Ostia was the main harbour of ancient Rome at around 700BC until 200AD. I never heard of it before this morning, and only until I reached there that I realized it’s one big piece of amazing ancient ruins.
