Venice at Night


One of the biggest ambitions I had was to see Venice at night. I really didn't think it would be that hard except does anyone know how creepy Venice is when you're wandering lost in the tiny streets late at night???

This pic doesn't do the creepiness justice, but it is a good pic all the same ^_^

San Marino at Night

San Marino: one of the tiniest countries in the world and it's got one huge hill with castles on top!

Here's a view of the first 'tower' (as they called the fortification) and the city down below during dusk.

I think the shot come out well, don't you agree?

Driving through the Alps

I've never been in an extremely cold environment so as the bus drove through the snow encrusted Alps, I was enthralled by all the snow-covered trees and buildings. Twas awesome!






My favorites were the tall pine (I think?) trees frosted with white. There were just rows and rows of them, scaling up over the mountains. Very pretty.

Switzerland at Last

I'm in Lucerne! And am debating whether to go up Mt Titlis or Mt Pilatus. Mt Pilatus gives an awesome view of the Alps and of Lucerne, but Titlis has an ice cave! But it's also farther away... hmm....

But I WILL be going to the House of Mirrors. Whee!

In Innsbruck!

And I'm off to Switzerland today. Yay!

Arrived here just in time for Vienna's first snowfall, too! It's 1 C here. Whee!!

Yay for Venice!

Just spent all day wandering around Venice. It is so easy to get lost there!!

And I've got some awesome stories to tell (the ferry I was on had stowaways!) but internet isn't cheap up here near Venice. So, you'll just have to wait!

Tomorrow, I shall be heading up to Vienna. Whee!

(And hopefully I'll find cheap wi-fi access up there ^_^)
