Jamie & Angeline with the ferry port. Cool... you travel to everywhere by ferry. Bus and trains are not allowed on this island.



We happened to see some amusement park and quickly got off the ferry at the ferry port. We couldn't believe it. An amusement park in Venice!! We even sat the simulation ride. OMG!!



Teatro la Fenice. Too bad we couldn't go in because they were having a concert.


Gelato time!!!

We didnt take our first gelato. This is our second gelato. One each. They have many flavours eg. pistachio, after eight, tiramisu

Our third gelato.

Our fourth gelato.

24th Dec (Milan, Italy)

We had a 7-hr transit at Milan, so we quickly went to the city centre called Duomo to snap some photos.

Duomo Cathedral




Piazza Castello





Back to Duomo area.






Our 5th gelato in Italy.


25th - 27th Dec (Athens, Greece)

We spent the christmas countdown on the plane. Alitalia airline rocks. Keep giving us snacks to eat for free! Greece is a really unique country, at least very dfifferent from those that i've visited. The first thing that stunned me was that they celebrated Xmas. Before that i was quite afraid that there would be no christmas atmosphere because we dont know what religion they follow. After reading some info, we realised their religion is Orthodox.


3rd September Street. Father & Angela's bday on that day?


28th October street. Theresa.. your street? haha..

Metro Station. Look at the signs. See how unique Greek language is.


Aegina, an island in greece. We wanted to go to Santorini or Mykonos, but both islands required at least 2 days to travel to and fro. Hence, we chose Aegina, the nearest island.

We sat this cruise ship called Phivos to Aegina, which is only about 1 hr ride away.









There was no bus service at that time when we arrived, so we had to take a cab. Argh... what an expensive trip. The cab driver soon became our tour guide and told us some history and information about this island.




Trying to play around with the cameras.
