ciao bella, pizza, frutti di mare, mamma mia!

Ok, before anyone gets mad: I know a whole more about Italian culture and I have a great respect for it so please don't call me shallow because of the headline :D!

Ok, so I was in Italy, last summer... in August or so. It's only now when I feel like uploading some pictures. I was visiting my dear friend E near Venice. In Treviso actually. I flew with this cheap airline (not good for the climate, I know, sorry!) to Milan (Bergamo). It was my first trip alone... like abroad! This is Bergamo. I didn't have that much time or courage to explore the whole city (the one on the hill) because I needed to leave for Venice by train soon after arriving.

(oh by the way, these pictures are MINE, so don't you dare copy them without permission. thank YOU<3.)



Venice is beyond words...

Imagine a city without streets... Well, solid streets to be more precise!



St. Marks is amazing. But I'm telling you the pidgeons are like the birds in that Hitchcock´s movie...

Thank God for the bridges! A boatless person would nearly have to go to Rome just to cross over because of the water (well not really, but you get the point).

You could taste the sun in these fruits and veggies... I miss that taste... Sigh. It was an amazing experience for a person who has gotten used to the fact that every fruit is imported from "the south".

Treviso.

Making of the famous glass of Murano!

BURANO <3. The place I want to live in when I'm retired! They say the colours were for the fishers so they would see their home from the reef.


A historical scene (please E if you ever pass by, please remind me of what place this is.. like historically? It had something to do with Italian soldiers and the Alps and winning... I can't google cause I can't remember the name right...)

Asolo, the pretties village in the world.

I made this dish B-)!

Be brave and explore the world. You are never the same after visiting a new place :)!

Finally. . . I love to travel through others. I've only been to Florence and Milan in Italy but wouldn't mind a longer stay one of these days. And I agree, travel is a great educator and loads of fun. I wish I could do much more of it. Lovely pics. So you travelling anywhere this summer? Albania wasn't it?

Not bad, this year I am going to Berlin. I also planned an economic conference but I missed the deadline. I would have gone to Chisinau, Skopje, Prague or a Nordic city, but I don't remember where the last conference will be.

I can't speak German. Only Hungarian, English, and Spanish (and formerly Italian).
