Romeo, Romeo, where art thou Romeo ....

RAVENNA

Also known as the City of Mosaic, it's just amazing seeing the mosaic pieces on the walls. If nobody told me that they were mosaic pieces, they just look like them paintings. Totally inspiring and I wished I could do more mosaic pieces (not like the ones you see below) but rather simple pieces.

VENICE

Yes, Venice = gondolas (among the many many many other wonderful things you can see there) and you have to take a ride on the gondola. Commercialise and all but just take a ride! Unfortunately, our gondoliers were not dressed in their typical attire (blame the cold weather for that) so you have to be there in summer to see that. But it also means having to bear with the stench (I was told about the stench due to the change in the temperature) that comes from the channels .... Anyone can verify if there's true?

Look pass me and see how gorgeous Venice is but just be prepared cuz everything there is much much more expensive as Venice is suppose to be the most expensive place in Italy.

COMO

Like Capri, Como is the playground for the rich and famous. On our private boat tour, our dear guide pointed out which Villa belonged to which famous people, like George Clooney, Saudi Royal family etc. But forget all that and just look at how beautiful Lake Como is...



VERONA

If you're wondering what's at Verona, well let me tell you. Romeo and Juliet. Do they really exist? Beats me. But somehow, the balcony you see below is suppose to be the balcony where dear Juliet looked down to poor Romeo.
