2002 Venice

Filed under: Italy — Terang Benderang @ 7:00 pm

map1.JPG We drove from Florence to Venice, followed the map quest from the internet. About 2-3 hours on the Auto Strada, then we took an hour ferry to Lido – an island nearby Venice – where our hotel is.

venice2.JPG Venice for me is an open-air mall & museum, every ancient building in this island is dedicated for commercial purposes.

2002 Murano

Filed under: Italy — Terang Benderang @ 6:00 pm

murano2.JPG glass products always fascinate me. From the dining ware to the construction material. And here in Murano, I could find any kind of glass in art form. So does the style, from traditional full ornament as Baroque or Rococo, to the sleek clean line modern type.

In Bremen, I learn how to make stained glass w/ Tiffany copper sticker & lead rail. Here in Murano, my beloved husband offers me to stay for a year & to have a course how to master fussed glass & blowing technic. Alhamdulillah for this generous offer, he really spoil me :D My feeling’s then start juggling. Of course I’m eager to learn more, but in the other hand, who will take care of my big baby ?

2002 Genoa

Filed under: Italy — Terang Benderang @ 4:00 pm

genoa1.JPG I wish we could stop in Genoa, on our way from Milan to Pisa. The tol gate to Genoa was so crowded, so we get off in… take the coast line, passed Viareggio & stay overnight in Livorno, before heading Pisa.

2002 Livorno

Filed under: Italy — Terang Benderang @ 2:00 pm

We’d like to experience a tiny coastal city in this Italian Riviera. We trapped in a left wing parade, peacefuly but still unconvenience for me. For me, red is always associated w/ blood – bloody exactly !! So, I felt scared , that’s me :)

2002 Pisa
