Funding merchants in Venice

I've been wanting to write about the way I feel about returning to Singapore; how the going-home feeling can be very close to the going-away at times. I can say very simply that it feels bittersweet, but in all actuality, the experience feels more textured than that. There are so many layers; people, places, things, freedom, education - each layer holds in itself a multitude of viewpoints that I can't quite put to words right now. So for now, here are photographs from our vacation in Venice:

We flew to Venice via one of Luthansa's air partners (I can't remember the name exactly), it was only an hour long but we were very very comfortable. 

We saw the fluffiest clouds!

The accommodations in Venice are extremely expensive, especially for our limited student budget so we opted to stay at a "campsite". I was not so optimistic about it but it turned out to be really lovely, the exterior looked like a series of chalets. 

Inside though, it was like a mini hotel! It was so clean and so comfortable, we loved it! 

Birthday cake for the birthday girl!

Then we went exploring~ 

The city did not disappoint, though it was really warm, it was so so pretty. Every corner was photo worthy. 

Postcards!

Amazing street art!

We followed a walking tour which included a gondola ride!

Elderly Australian couple who shared the gondola with us!

And our cool gondolier!

The next day was more chill, we visited to Duomo and the centre before just doing a bit of shopping and eating. 

I love Venice, it was touristy for sure, but still very very enjoyable (:
