It's getting harder and harder to keep a diary. Super dami na kasing nangyayari na feel ko matagal na kaming nagba-byahe. Hmm… how should I start? Today we leave Innsbruck for Venice.
Before hitting the highway, we passed quickly at the Wilten Basilica. It is a traditional church built in the time of Maria Theresa-an Austrian ruler who was very traditional in her Catholic beliefs. The basilica, has the signature onion-shaped dome. Kapareho sa Sound of Music. Meron din dyang maliit na cemetery sa gilid na magaganda yung tombstones.
If you look sa skyward towards the Alps, dun yung ski jump ng mga Winter Olympic events. Tapos dati daw ang nangyayari is before magski jump nakikita ng mga skiers ang cemetery. Kaya nung olympics, tinakpan ng black cloth and cemetery. Hehehe.
Tapos pumunta kami sa Verona. Nakita namin yng mga SUPPOSED houses ni Juliet at Romeo. Dun sa bahay ni Juliet, daming graffitti na nagpo-profess ng love to a point na kadiri na kasi dinidiit nila yung mga papel with gum. Pero fake lang yun kasi fictional characters lang naman yung dalawa. Kanino kayang mga bahay talaga yun?
On the way to Venice, nadaan namin yung Padua, which is locally called PADOVA.
Tapos, just before Venice… we saw the industrial and behind the scenes side of Venice. Kasi, masyadong mahal tumira sa Venice so yung mga workers dun, nakatira sa mainland Italy, some town na malapit, tapos nagco-cross na lang sila ng canal to get to Venice talaga.

Yung Venice… talagang it’s as we see it on paintings, movies, etc. Its so romantic and so old. Hindi nila gano ni-rerestore, it’s really rustic. We had a 15 minute wallk to our hotel. Nakakatuwa yung hotel, kahit medyo modern na, parang old pa rin. Tapos medyo maze yung loob nya. Ang daming liko liko sa loob. Right after checking in, lumabas kami ulit to take photos and look around. Daming products, maganda at mahal lahat.
At around 5pm we went to join a Gondola ride. SUPER ASTIG!!!

Ang ganda ng mga gondola, pero di naman naka-costume yng mga nagda-drive. 6 na gondolas kami with 6 pax bawat gondola. Pero sa gondola namin 4 lang kami at kasama namin yung 2 musicians. Merong nagpe-play ng accordion at merong kumakanta. Panay Italian songs na romantic. Tapos pag pumupunta kami sa mga “streets” na makipot, mas maganda ang songs kasi nage-echo ang voice. Basta maganda talaga.
For dinner, we had spaghetti, pork, and gelati. Traditional Italian dinner na super bagal at super dami. At super sarap talaga.To end the meal, we had coffee. Ang sarap ng coffee kasi ang sarap ng gatas. We were so sleepy na when we finished.
