Murano and Burano

Determined to make the most of our 1 day ferry pass, we went island hopping to Murano and Burano! We accidentally got a free glass blowing demonstration in Murano because we were a tiny bit late and then they were so keen to get us all into the show room they forgot to charge us so big win! Alfred struggled in the showroom as the €40,000 euro chandeliers were hung at head/hair height 😳 we managed to escape without smashing anything valuable though 🤠 Next up we popped across to Burano where all the houses are painted the brightest colours! It was super pretty and we had fun pretending we were in a Wes Anderson movie while we wondered around. We popped home on the ferry and took some pizzas and Bellini to the edge of the island to see the sun go down over the water. Finally, we used the last of our ferry pass to cruise up the Grand Canal to St Mark's Square again to listen to the orchestras - we arrived to find that it was high tide/global warming is faster than we thought, and the place was flooded which was quite a surreal experience but glorious nonetheless.Read more
