From here to there

After 12 hours of long haul flight, I arrived at a destination which has been very foreign to me all this while. Here, I must wait for 4 hours before flying another 2 hours to my intended destination. This place has alot to offer, alot to be seen and alot more for me to explore. This is the main gateway to the new world. I'm in a foreign land, where I am now a foreigner from a country far far away.

Four hours went by in a breeze. I got onto a smaller plane which brought me to where I am now. I'm in a small town...just outside the city, which is famous for its canals and gondolas.


This is a small town...life here is quiet and peaceful. On a Sunday afternoon, there are barely any cars on the streets and you can see some folks sitting by the sidewalk cafe...sipping away on their favourite iced-beverage and chit chatting with their pals next door...taking their weekend break.


Most shops are close today. I went for a walk just now, with the summer sun blazing in the sky...the temperature was way past 30 degrees.

I went out of the hotel and opposite to get myself a 'melone' gelato. A northern wind starts to blow when I took my first mouth on the ice cream, surprisingly the wind did not carry with it the heat from the sun but instead it was cooling. I've never felt this good walking under the blazing sun. I took a couple of pictures of the piazza...and some criss-cross walk by the buildings around me, snapping pictures as I go.

Can't recall how long time has passed, but I did not come back till my camera's battery went dry, which I've then put it to charge once I got back...took a bath...and while I wait for the evening bus to bring me into the town tonight...I'll upload some pictures for my fellow blogger friends to see. Beware though, loading all these could be a drag for those on a slow connection.
