Photo tour 2.0, and Murano

Today we woke up early again and went to have our photos taken.

We met up with our photographer Cris. She was from Brazil, but she had been living in Venice for 6 years.

She took lots of photos on bridges and stuff like that. We did lots of posing, but not as much as the first photos.

We ended the tour by getting onto a gondola. She took photos of us getting in the gondola.

Our gondolier was called Tomas. He had been doing it for 16 years. It was very relaxing and calm. We encountered no other gondolas.

About halfway through the ride, he showed us the gondola factory. Every year it only made 1 new one because it mainly focused on restoring and painting gondolas. It is a very historic site. There is a stable number of 440 gondolas in Venice. Each year when they make the new one it is because one has died and gone to gondola heaven.

We finished the ride and went to have breakfast. Unfortunately there was nothing Mama and I liked, so we just gave up on breakfast.

We then were going to do a rooftop terrace but Papa was not feeling very well because of the heat. It was very gloomy and over cast but REALLY hot.
Because of the heat and Papa, we stayed home for a while.

We then went to the island Murano by the water bus. Murano is famous for glass making. They make all sorts of cool stuff. They started doing that in 1219. They make animals, glasses and magnets.

We then had lunch. It was a very nice experience. They had Hawaiian pizza there. That is funny because the Italians think that pineapple on pizza is disgusting, and they only had it for the tourists. The even funnier thing is that it is the best Hawaiian pizza I've ever had!

We then explored Murano a bit more. We did a Pokémon Go route around Murano. What I found really cool is that there were like 50 Magikarp on Murano. Magikarp are usually uncommon, so this was really weird.

It was around 5:00 so we headed home and went to sleep.
