Venice

As I woke up I was hoping to meet my friend as I would walk around in Milan. At the breakfast I met a girl from USA who was going to study in Istanbul for one semestre. After breakfast I've decided to go to Venice. I wasn't just sure if it would worth to pay 40€ for the train ticket and stay there for 5-6 hours.
Inside of the train station reminded me the one in Hamburg, trains reminded me the ones in Austria and the delay reminded me the old trains in Turkey.
This is the first view in Venice you see.
I took a boat in canal to go to San Marco square. Buildings were beautiful there but it was a short trip. Walking in very narrow streets and window shopping for glass goods and masks brought me to the Piazza San Marco. You can see photos here. I was so amazed with the view I even forgot to get into Basilica di San Marco
As I was walking I saw Harry's Bar accidentally. I was even suprised that I could remember the bar's name which I saw in a documentary on TV. I had one famous Bellini cocktail and payed 14€
but it was very delicious.
I headed for a delicious but not very expensive pizza and I found myself in an irish pub eating italian pizza. After I had my dinner I saw many snack bars and sandwiches and wraps seemed very yummy to me, well maybe next time. And this is the desert, easy but very tasty. Walking 5 hours long and shopping a little (not in Gucci ofcourse)
made me tired, it was time to turn back to Milan.
In Italy you have to validate your train ticket by a stamp and I didn't know that. The controller said it was no problem I guess because I bought the ticket on that day but normally I should have paid 25€ penalty
