Th gondola ride. Almost couldn't make it for the ride because the mafia got involved in the gondola business and refused all tour groups from 6pm onwards. We got chased out of the gondola because it was 6.20pm... The tour manager couldn't do anything and offered to refund us the gondola money we paid her (21 euros/pax).
However, we didn't give up, we gathered a group of 6 to ride the gondola together. We asked for the price and they quoted 30 euros per pax, okay abit more expensive but we are not going to leave venice without experiencing the gondola ride!!! When our turn is coming up, they increased the price to 40 euros... We were like shit! So expensive, how??? But we pressed on because when will be the next time we visit venice again? Expensive also have to pay right? Then after queueing for 30min and finally our turn to take the ride, they increased it to 50 euros!!! All of us were so pissed off we walked away, cursing and swearing like hell.. they are really too much man! See us being tourist and wanna chop us!!!
But thank God, we found another gondola service at the other corner of the alley, and it is only 20 euros per pax!!! We hopped on the boat without asking the second time :) It's even cheaper than the price the tour manager quoted us!
The gondola seats are so beautiful
We didn't have a suave italian gondola rower (the one we got chased out has a hottie), for 20 euros, the rower is a ah chek.
According to Holly's advise, she told me to take the gondola who sings, but this fellow didn't and I requested him to do so and he agreed!!! I thought I was soo so so smart but actually it's not part of his job to sing! After clarifying with Holly, the rower is only supposed to row the boat, there should be 1 more person in the boat who plays a musical instrument and sings!! What a big joke!!!

very beautiful place surrounded by rivers and rivers
The place we bought pizza from didn't have a dine-in area, so we settled down on the steps and these pests start to surround us. WHY?
welcome to the retarded club!
he wanted to buy the cap, but i stopped him
In the end, he got a black polo tee and also this jacket for the swiss alps because he only brought a windbreaker for this trip. Actually he was eyeing for another black jacket but his size is currently not in stock. (heng ah!!)
