Ocean of bridges

It was early sunday morning.... i mean 10 AM when we woke up.. hmmm wht are we doing here jus sleepin.. is it wht we had come for after a heavy travel..get up u idiot i pulled myself up and got everyone to their legs....start dudes the journey begins now..The previous day we had got the details and wht and how to go.. so now direct travel to places.....

We were near the beginin of the lagoon waitin to c it at the day time... we were very excited thinkin wht charmin....architecture we were goin to c.So we took the royal walk...goin through the narrow rugged streets...man u ll get lost in the small streets...unless the signboard..which took us towards the rialto bridge...we were admirin the streets and we were hungry.... now round 1 for grabbin pizza...we managed to get a mozerella tomato one and we were walkin all the way takin pics where ever possible....

Every corner had a shop...full of sovenirs which was irresistable.....swearin tht i am gonna fill my bag with em....Keepin my anxiety myself...we reached the magnificient rialto bridge which was hugely populated....with people smoochin around...yes this a place of love........Beneath the bridge there was the market...man now i cant resist more... i thought this was once a opportunity ad strted to buy many small replicas....etc etc....if i had the money i wud ve bought every thing ...but due to the constraints.. i thought of buyin only the goood ones...man tht is a tough choice..Souvenir shoppin kickstarted.....

Subrat and his wife were really tired, where as my heart strtd pumpin..cravin to enjoy every bit of the second...those serene gondolas(boats)...the canals..the renaissance architecture..the brook...with buildings on both sides....curvin and gushin..with water taxis taxin ..through the water streets.... wht a good treat for the eyes...it was like a town ...where the road was replaced by water..the bell ringin from some basilica .... soundin the life of people....people tryin to enjoy the romantic locations...

I was goin through the map not wantin to miss any location and i steered these people across the streets......More water..more canals..more boats......whew.....i wished this to be a heaven...guidin ourselves...thru the market streets....we finally reached the end destination...it was like a maze.... with lots of hapenings and there we were at the st marco square in the afternoon...tired wantin to have some food...i was again enthralled by the number of pegions around..... kids playin wid em givin corns... i felt like a kid and runnin behind em...

Fakin the pigeons by callin em..though some came...ans sat around my hand....but disappointed not to get their food.... vola i did not want to waste their anxiety... i did buy some corns..and they were all around me...munchin....masaccring my hands.....scratchin.....abt 20 of em were around me.... i did feed em for sometime and was really on cloud 9..once we were done with tht...i thought ok..we ve seen enough places and decide to go back towards the startin place..this time we wanted to c the city by waters by the boat...we did travel ..and i pitied myself thinkin...this had to be the wonder of the world....it was the beauty of the entire city tht charmed me...

I did want to walk more..but time started to roll slowly and we had to take the bus towards our return location.....hours passed and we were on the flight...havin sweet memories of the visit....vola l........................meet u later...
