Arriving back at Venice from Lido...
Many tourists in Venice
The bridge behind Doge's Palace
Nice weather, lamppost and island
Boys playing with pigeonsWe decided to queue up to enter St Mark's Basilica as we did not have many places left to go in Venice. Unfortunately, taking photos were not allowed inside the Basilica.

Gold plated ceiling?
Large number of tourists in St Mark's SquareWe then headed to Ferrari Store as Kian Shing needed to buy something.
Mau and i in Ferrari Store
The exterior of the shop
Nice souvenir display at another shop
Last few photos before leaving Piazza San Marco
Love the weather when we were in Venice
Venetian masks for sale
On the water bus back to the bus station (Anthony should smile more)
On the bus back to our hostel
Regione del VenetoWe then took the bus back to our hostel in Mestre and picked up our luggage to go to Treviso. As we were carrying our backpacks and we got the 24 hr transportation ticket that includes all bus and water bus in the Venice area, we decided to take a bus to Mestre train station. I thought a certain bus takes us to Mestre train station but i was mistaken by the sign on the bus and we were heading to some unknown place. We decided to return back to the hostel area by taking the same bus on the opposite side of the road. I was quite pissed with myself for my own error.
We finally reached Mestre train station and took a short train ride to Treviso train station. As our hostel in Treviso is quite far away from the train station, we took a bus and i was standing by the side of the bus driver constantly so that he can instruct me where to get off. Taking 8 people on a trip is quite stressful if something goes wrong.
We reached our hostel without a hitch after walking along the quiet streets in Treviso. We unloaded our luggages and headed outside for dinner. My original plan was to check out Treviso but due to the unforeseen circumstances, my timing was pushed back by 1-2 hrs and we decided to give the touring of Treviso a miss.
