CARVENALE DI VENEZIA 2012

Beautiful views, amazing masks, Italian food, Gelato .. Repeat!



Italy was Amazing! You should all bookflights right now and go!

It was actually funny going into Italy because of the language change once again - We were using more german words to ask for things in italy than we even do at "home" in Austria. 

I went with five girl friends and our "Token Brit" Ross - and we left from the University at about 5am Saturday morning and we had quite the fun ride! haha lots of snacks, a Gosser or two .. shh

And along the ride from Austrian into Italy there were mountains that kick the Hills/Mountains in Ontario in the but! they were amazing.

When we reached Venice (since its all islands) we took a water Taxi into San Marco (the main square where the majority of Carvinal events were going on) ... You all have to look at my facebook page to see a clip of the boat ride in. Honestly we were all breath taken. I cant even put it into words - I could have road the boat up and down that canal all day.

When we reached San Marco it was SOO busy. Millions of people were there to celebrate Carnival. I had never seen people dressed in such elaborate costumes nor seen such amazing masks that are all made in venice! .. check out the pictures below for the ones the girls and i bought :)

We did a lot of wondering around to try to find the less busy streets, ate a delicious Italian lunch followed by GELATO mmm and did the exact same for dinner .. and just continued to take it all in.

I can't even explain any more the pictures speak for themselves. But i will 100% be going back to Venice in my time here to find out more about the city and do some tours.
