FifiMiza Travel Log: 2015

We started our morning with a smile on our faces because today we are going to the magical island; VENICE!! This was our dream for a long long time and today all the imagination will turn to be reality hehe

This is the jetty where we will wait for our boat

Ohh nooo where's the boat?? we cant hold any longerrrrr

The boat rides will take around 30-40 minutes to reach the other side (Venice). We were among the 1st to be there because we wanted to explore Venice as much as we could as we didnt stay at the island.

Haha at last we were a step closer :)

Before we start talking and picturing Venice here are some info about the island; Venice, is the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a marshy lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. Its stone palaces seemingly rise out of the water. There are no cars or roadways (no pollution hehe), just canals and boats. The Grand Canal snakes through the city, which is filled with innumerable narrow, mazelike alleys and small squares. The must visit spot here are Grand Canal, Saint Mark's Basilica, Piazza San Marco,and Rialto Bridge.

Zattere Jetty where all the boats make a stop and we are in Venice

Priceless feeling as we arrived

Without any delayed we start to explore every corners of this unique island and for me Venice was so romantic with ambiance, historical building, street art, of course the food and dont forget about the GONDOLA.

Probably the most significant attraction in Venice

Venice gondola rides are without doubt the number one must-do experience in Venice. Gliding through serene waters, while serenaded by your gondolier, against the stunning backdrop of Baroque buildings is an experience you won’t soon forget.

Luncheon in one of the restaurant and seafood is their speciality

Our must take photo at HRC around the world

Enjoy the photos of stunning Venice

Not all the cities mention, ever came into my mind before. We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to witnessed the beautiful scenery, meet all kind of people, the culture and food :)

Frankfurt, a central German city on the Main River, is a major financial hub. Known as the most international city in Germany, the largest financial centre on the continent, the historical city of coronations, the city of Goethe and the Frankfurt School.

In brief, to the smallest metropolis in the world, in which there is a lot to discover at close hand. For our info almost one in three of the people living in Frankfurt does not hold a German passport. No matter where visitors come from, they will always meet people in Frankfurt who speak their language and a restaurant that serves their favourite food, but we cant find any Malaysian here hahaha.

We think that is because of the liberal and democratic tradition of the city may be one reason for the fact that people from very diverse cultures have lived here in peace with one another for a long time. They have all contributed to making this city shine slightly differently from every angle, like a jewel shines slightly differently when you look at it from different sides.The view of Frankfurt’s bold high-rise architecture is just as attractive and yet very different. Directly opposite the high-rise buildings, on the other side of the Main, a unique collection of 13 museums has been developed and these are devoted to different works of art, from classical paintings to modern media.

The EURO sign I think this is the most famous spot in Frankfurt.

Enjoy the pictures below..taken at the heart of Frankfurt old town

known as Romerberg. It is the central and most beautiful square in Frankfurt's Altstadt. For most visitors this is the first stop on their trail through the inner city of Frankfurt.

Okay thats not my handbag haha

The city at late evening

Morning in Frankfurt, there are much more to explore but we have to say good bye to Frankfurt because we have schedule to follow and make sure our plan goes well.

Next we drop by at Fussen. By the way, the name was unfamiliar to us, if in Malaysia maybe this place is like Bukit Tinggi or Fraser Hills. Although Fussen is not a big town but there is something special about it. It is nestled at the foot of the Alps, tourist-busy Füssen is the southern climax of the Romantic Road with the nearby castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau the highlight of many a southern Germany trip. Yes Neuschwanstein Castle or more popular known as The Fairytale Castle is the most popular spot in Fussen!!

You can ride this horse cart if you dont want to get there by your foot.

It took 45minutes to reach at the top and amazed the Castle!

This fairytale look of the Neuschwanstein castle inspired Walt Disney to create the Magic Kingdom. Today, Neuschwanstein is the most visited castle in Germany, and one of the most popular tourist destination in the world.

Amazing lake whereby we can take a rest after the castle's tour

Innsbruck is more alien to us than Fussen haha but once we were there I feel regretted because I think we should at least overnight there :(

This old town city is so perfect for honeymooners like us hehe.

Just look at our background, ALPS!!

With its narrow house-fronts, handsome doorways, oriel windows, and arcaded-façades, Innsbruck's Old Town boasts many fine examples of old Tyrolese architecture and southern influences, along with many sumptuous Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo buildings. The semi-circular quarter of the Old Town, enclosed by a ring of streets known as the Graben (Moat), is now a pedestrian precinct and a wonderful place to pass the time of day. Highlights of a walking tour include the beautiful Baroque Helblinghaus, noted for its splendid stucco facade with cherubs and other decorative ornamentation. Nearby is the 16th-century Golden Eagle(Goldener Adler), an old inn once as popular with emperors as it was with writers like Goethe. Also worth visiting is the 57-meter-high Stadtturm, a watchtower built in the 14th century along with the adjoining Old Rathaus affording great views of the Old Town.
