Island Hopping in Venice
... glass displays of art which are quite neat.
Burano is further out than Murano and it takes nearly a half hour on the vaporetti to get there. The waterbus seems to be moving at an excruciatingly slow speed as it's only 6 or 8 km from Murano. Once you arrive, there's no mistaking which direction to head as shops welcome you as soon as you step off. Focus and move through the first street and you'll really get into the bright colored houses. ...
Venice Wandering
... in the basilica but that doesn't quite stop people and no one came around telling them "no photos".
The Venetians love their gold in decor as the Doge's Palace was next. 8 euro to go in with the Rolling Venice Card (get this if you're 29 and under - cheaper transport and other things). The rooms are quite the experience as descriptions of how the Venetians held council vary in each room. You can even visit the prisons below and cross the Bridge of Sighs where ...

Day 3

The Madonna dell'Orto is on the north side of the island, and the rounded dome of its bell tower is visible on ...
Venezia Le Serenissima--que bello!!
Ah, Venice. An easy 2 hour train ride on the super fast Freccia train and we are here, trying to follow the instructions emailed to me by Sabina, our landlord, whom we are to meet on a certain street at 12:15. In her instructions she said it would take her 15 minutes to walk from the train station to the apartment but it could take us one hour because we could get lost. Challenge accepted! We proudly arrived there before her, which took some doing, as the "streets" ...
