Everyone slept pretty well so they felt ok today. Rick was up early and went out and got us croissants for breakfast. Mike also made eggs so some had a big breakfast.
We planned to go to Murano and Burano today. We walked across the island to get the vaporetti to Murano. Here are some pictures from our walk.
We took the vaporetti with 9 million of our closest friends; it was very crowded. After getting off at the first stop in Murano, we wandered along the canals and went into interesting shops. So many beautiful things and such large prices! Nancy got a couple of small items as presents but otherwise we didn’t buy anything. We had a nice pizza lunch in the plaza. Here are pictures from Murano.
Then we got back on the vaporetti and took the 30 minute ride to Burano. Burano is more focused on lace and textiles. More beautiful things at high prices. The houses are brightly painted. Here are pictures of Burano.
We took a vaporetti back to Venice, returned to the apartment and relaxed a little before dinner. We had made reservations for a special dinner at a restaurant called Covino. Rick and I had had a wonderful dinner here when we were in Venice two years ago. We had another wonderful dinner this time. Here’s a picture of us at the restaurant.
All in all a great day.
