Tour of the islands Murano, Burano & Torsello
This was going to be exciting. The weather was holding up (only a slight drizzle) and that was a good sign as I did not want a rock & roll boat ride on the Venice Lagoon. The first of the islands, Murano is famous for their Venetian Glass making. We were whisked off by a smartly dressed gentleman with a big smile on his face and hurried into the glass making 'factory'. We were arranged on 3 platforms as we watched 3 glass makers impress ...

The Classic Water City
Next on the must-see list of Italy was Venice. For pure wow factor alone, this may be one of my all time favorite cities. The island portion of Venice is truly fascinating with no motor vehicles or really even bicycles, because anything with wheels would need to navigate a veritable maze of waterways, bridges, and stairs. Transportation by boat is the norm and the water buses are just as efficient as a regular city bus with a no nonsense pick up and drop off and move on routine. One of ...
