The Islands of Burano and Murano are short ferry rides from Punta Sabbioni also, so we started our day with Burano. Sweet, quaint island with colorful buildings. Burano is known for its Lace. Shops just opening, raining again, ducked in for a nice coffee.
Then off to Murano, known for its Glass! Blown mostly, but some fused. Tons of stuff that I know is made in China, which is sad....Tons of amazing large pieces of art, too! It's a bit overwhelming, as there are so many different shops. Spent a few hours wandering around, and then bought a bead, and a picture frame with millifiore cut pieces on it. It will be a good model for me to copy...:-), although I don't think I can get the millifiore...
Back to apartment, relax, then off on the bikes that are there for us, to check out the beach - Adriatic Sea! Pasta at restaurant for dinner...quite good....
