Venezia, Italy

A trip from Milano to Venice takes only 2.5h by train. But Venice wasn't having too good a weather when i arrived. We headed to San Marco by foot which was a mistake. It took us more than an hour. We should have taken a gondola.. let them sing and sway me there in style.. After that we tooka water taxi to Murrano to see Mouth blown glass.. The master demonstrated to us. The guide says it takes about 10-15 yrs to master the skill thoroughly but they are lowly paid though.

Venice is unique.. There are no cars on the road. But they have their public transports which are boats and boat taxis.. Very pretty place but at times it looks like rome and milan with lots of bridges and rivers. I need to go there again just to sit in the Gondola and having him sing for me as he row his gondola.. Then i would feel i have completed my tour in Venice.. Haha!

cape town

i arrived on a summer but was a winter weather.. cold, wet and extremely windy.. And due to the bad weather, table mountain was closed... Sigh...

It was by God's blessing that i get to go Cape town so I didn't just rot in my room. We took a tour and we went to Seal's island. the ride there was a terrifying viking ride. The sea was extremely choppy and I was so sure that the boat would capsize and send me into the ice cold water. I even located where the life vests were. Occupational hazard. But we got there in one piece and saw thousands of seals.. just that my stomach didn't feel too good. :(

Then we proceeded to cape point where we saw the light house and then to cape of good hope! It started to pour just after we took photos, leaving the nasty and impatient caucasian caught in the rain. :)

There after we went to visit S. African's penguin.. They seemed fake cause they didn't move much. I was hoping to see them waddle and jump into the water, like how animal planet shows them all the time.

Last stop was to the Cheetah Outreach, a non profit organisation. And i took photo with an adult. My heart was pumping, pumping.. timid me....
