2 days in Venice

Love the craziness of Venice upon our arrival, but it's also great that you can turn a corner and end up on a quiet street with no one around. I really would have liked to have had a GPS on to track the walk to see where we went.

Had a terrific dinner at the restuant in the square just outside our door. Jack had the rabbit, and I had fregola con zucca e cannella. Super yummy, could eat that anytime of the day. Had tiramasu for desert, with grappa on the side. Good Italian meal!

Murano, Burano and Torcello
Saturday morning, walked Jack to the bus stop, his holiday is finished. Then I made way to the water front to see about a tour to the some islands in the northern part of the lagoon.
First stop, Murano. Known for its glass works. Glass production was transferred out here in 1291, because of the fear of fires in the kilns. About 6,000 people live on Murano.

Second stop, Burano. Known for lace work and colourful houses. About 3,000 residents on Burano.

Final stop, Torcello. One of the first islands inhabited, now practically uninhabited.
