ItalySunrise is late here in Venice which makes it hard to get moving in the morning especially when its -2 outside. We decided to head out to the islands to have a look today. Our apartment said today would be our best day but once again the clouds came in about 10am. We caught the water bus out to Murano first, this is famous for it's glass work. It was a little chilly as the sun disappeared. We hadRead more

After a brief visit to Murano, famous for glass making, and Burano, known for its lace making, we decided to go back to Burano for our last day in Venice. Like Murano, Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon.
There are only about 50 women who still make the lace by hand. To make the lace the traditional way is time consuming and costly, but it is really interesting to watch. The lace shops areRead more

Heute ging es für uns erneut mit dem Bus und dann mit dem Vaporetto ⛴ auf die Insel Burano. Wir wollten uns selbst davon überzeugen, ob die Häuser tatsächlich so schön bunt sind.
Eine gute Dreiviertel Stunde später waren wir endlich da, und ja die Häuser der Fischer von Burano strahlten in den tollsten Farben. Ein Haus in pink war für mich auch da 🤣. Wir schlenderten über die InselRead more

Mit dem Wasserbus ging es für uns heute nach Burano. Auf dieser wunderschönen kleinen Insel sind alle Häuser kunterbunt und wirklich schön hergerichtet.
Die Spitzenstickerei hat hier ihre Geburtsstätte...für uns aber leider nicht erschwinglich.

Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy; like Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges.
The women of the island have been experts at lace since the 1400s, when Leonardo da Vinci himself visited to shop for cloth that he used on the altar at the Duomo di Milano.
You might also know this place by the following names:

The houses look so pretty not that I'm showing Graham not letting getting any ideas to paint the shack So I'm guessing the canals lead out to the sea it looked very calm no swell or were you on a river
Yes the canals lead out to sea. It is the sea and there isn't any swell it was just like glass. The only time you had movement was when another boat went past. I commented about no wind it was so calm on the othetside of the coast at Cinque Terre as well.
