On my recent flight to MILAN Malpensa Airport, I took a train ride from Milan to Venice, taking the opportunity before the snow fall that make travelling difficult. Was so tempted because the hotel that they put us is just about 3 minutes walk ( crew standard fast pace walk) from the Milan Grand station, like our Central Station in KL.
The train station, look like a heritage building on the outside but has a modern set up inside.
The train , average speed of 70/80 km/h, took about 2 hours 30 min journey to Venice.
The ticket. All written in Italiano... have to figure it out. At least the departure time clearly stated.
The Gondola station. As I step out of the train station in Venice, few men greeted offering the gondola service. I preferred to walk , taking my own sweet time.
The set up looks romantic. No wonder this place is a popular destination for the honeymooner.
In Venice, there is a big festival, couldn't recall the name, celebrated once a year just before Esther, and during that festival, everybody will wear masks... like these one sold on the street.
The street, in summer it is busier I guess.
The big river, to cross from one side to the other is not a problem. Bridges all over...
Self portrait, travelling alone mah....
Just to say chiau... chiau... chiau.. to Venice
3 words that I learned in the train..
pronto.... hello
see see see.... yes yes yes
chiau.... bye bye
