My Dream Holiday

In Secondary School My Favourite Subject was History.Always been fascinated with Italy Culture and history especially during the renaissance period. My dream Holiday Destination Has to be Venice.

Venice is the known to be One of the beautiful places that must be visited. One thing that makes it unique is that it a floating City most parts of Venice is covered with water. Their public Transportation is usually water taxis or Gondola. They do have public transportation like buses or trains, but mostly transportation is by water so thats why most of the Community in Venice owns their own boat then cars.

I Visited City of Venice website to Find out more on Venice.
The Website is an official site available to citizens and visitors.

Based on The layout of the Site Most of the Information Is easily Accessible. I can just choose from the tabs above and get the information I want. For Example I can just choose the Tourism Tab and It will bring me to a page that shows the events, traditional events that are coming up this year.

What i need to do is just Click the the Dates And they will show the Events that will be occurring on this date
I like this Functionality as it allows me to view Events happening on certain dates rather than browsing through a long list of events.

There is also A Virtual Tour of Venice

This Allows me to View The City Without being Physically  being there.

The Map also allows me to Zoom in to get a More detailed view of the City and if I click on one of the Landmarks. It will bring me to the Virtual View

This Function is Fun as i can just walk anywhere i want and view the interesting places in Venice. I think this is the most important function for a tourist like me as i can use this to make my itinerary so that when i decide to visit Venice, it will be much Simpler.

I also like the Live Web cam  as it allows me to see whats happening in Venice now. I can Refresh the image every 8 seconds to view.
Here are Some Web cams of Venice

A Tourism Website need to have a Nice design and layout to attract More users. The Venice Website meets the Criteria. Its layout is Clean the Tabs bring me to the right places. The proper information are categories into their respective pages.

Second Life... To be Continued..
I went To Search for Venice in Second Life. The name of the region is called Venice Passion
I was Surprised that someone actually created a virtual world of  Venice in second life. Here are some Pictures of me interacting in Venice Passion Region.

 It looks Exactly Like Venice The region is Well Design.

Decided to Take the Hot Balloon for An aerial view of Venice.  The View from the hot air balloon was amazing.

After landing I use a Bicycle to travel around Venice.This allow me to travel faster and enter into areas that i did not see. Overall my experience in Venice Passion was interesting and interactive.
