Back on land! We dropped our bags and headed off for Murano and Burano. Burano was an absolute highlight - less busy than Venice with brightly coloured houses! In the square some fresh seafood was being cooked up! Later on, we met up with our fellow cruisers for dinner before going our separate ways tomorrow.Read more

Day2
Burano, Murano
August 27, 2020 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Nach dem Frühstück haben wir uns auf den Weg gemacht zu den Fondamente Nuove, von wo die Boote nach Murano, Burano und Torcello auslaufen. Die 50-minütige Fahrt war friedlich, denn wir hatten das Glück, einen Schattenplatz zu ergattern.
Wie vom Reiseführer empfohlen fuhren wir direkt nach Burano. Ausser Souvenirläden gibt es nur die berühmten farbigen Häuser zu sehen - etwas kitschig aber schööön... 😊
Das Boot zurück nach Murano war dann fast leer, die Fahrt sehr angenehm. Den nächsten Punkt auf unserer Liste haben wir mit dem Besuch der Osteria al Duomo abgearbeitet - war sehr lecker!
Grundsätzlich war dann Windowshopping angesesagt, aber man kann ja nicht nach Murano und kein Glas kaufen!!... 😂 So bin ich nun stolze Besitzerin eines Kunstweks für meine neue Wohnung: Algen in passender Farbe zur Küchenwand, yeah!
Glücklich und um ein paar Euro leichter ging es danach an der Friedhofs-Insel vorbei zurück - na ja, nicht aufs Festland aber nach bella Venezia.Read more

Day2
Birthday, Glas, Spitze und Farben
November 15, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Heute hatten wir ein Birthday- Girl. Lady M. feiert heute mit uns Ihren Tag. Der ursprüngliche Grund, warum wir diesen Trip gemeinsam angetreten haben.
Der Tag begann natürlich erstmal mit dem Auspacken von kleinen Geschenken für unser Birthday -Girl und einem YES Törtchen für jeden, als erstes Frühstück.
Dann haben wir uns auf den Weg zur Vaparetto Station Richtung Murano gemacht. Der Weg durch die kleinen Gassen über die vielen Kanäle hat schon etwas. Manchmal endet eine Brücke auch einfach als Sackgasse und du stehst vor einer Haustür. Gefühlt haben wir auf unseren Wegen heute alle 400 Brücken überquert 😉.
Erste Station unseres Tages, die Insel Murano. Man kommt hier mit dem Ticket für die Vaparetto‘s hin.
Murano Glas hat bestimmt jeder schon mal gehört. Ich bin sicher kein Fan dieser Staubfänger aus Glas (sorry), aber es war spannend den Glasbläsern bei der Arbeit über die Schulter zu schauen. Wie aus einem glühenden Klumpen, mit viel Geschick alle möglichen Formen entstehen. Man kann auch hier schön entlang an Kanälen spazieren und alle fünf Meter trifft man auf ein Lädchen mit Muranoglas von extrem kitschig bis modern im Design.
Nächster Stop, die Insel Burano. Was in Murano das Glas, ist ist in Burano die Spitze, die man hier alle paar Meter angeboten bekommt.
Was Burano aber so besonders macht, sind die Farben. Die Häuser sind in kräftigen Farben gestrichen, was bei dem Sonnenschein ganz besonders gewirkt hat.
Zurück in Venedig (🤔 Murano und Burano gehören natürlich auch zu Venedig) sind wir in der Abenddämmerung über den Marcusplatz gebummelt.
Zum Abschluss dieses besonderen Tages von Lady M. gab es neben ein paar Cocktails, ein sehr leckeres Abendmahl in einem ganz tollen Restaurant.
Sehr empfehlenswert: 6342 A Le Tole - Spaghetteria Pizzeria, falls es euch nach Venedig verschlägt. Tolles Ambiente und sehr gutes Essen.
Nicht zu vergessen, die letze Mahlzeit ist natürlich ein Eis, im Land der besten Eismacher ever!Read more

Kunterbunt in Burano
April 22, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Kurzer Hand entschlossen wir uns den heutigen Tag außerhalb der Hauptinsel zu verbringen.

Unser heutiges Ziel: die kunterbunte Insel Burano.
Bekannt ist Burano hauptsächlich für sein traditionelles Handwerk, die Spitzenstickerei. Aber auch die vielen kontrastreich gestrichenen Hausfassaden sind mittlerweile weltbekannt.
Diese Farbenpracht zieht vor allem Maler und Fotografen auf die kleine Insel.Read more

Burano, Venice
September 17, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Even though we visited Burano and Murano last time we were in Venice, I really wanted to go again as they were two of the highlights last year. And Burano was as pretty as I remembered, if not prettier. Less people and bright blue skies made for a very memorable day.

We enjoyed a stroll around the island, admiring and photographing the very cute colourful houses, Burano’s main eye-catcher. Burano is an island where a lot of fishermen used to live. According to a local legend they chose to paint their houses in different colors so that they could see them from far away while they were fishing. That way they could always get home safely in case of dense fog.

Fun facts about Burano:

Burano was very important in the sixteenth century because of its refined lace production. The best known user of this lace was undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci, who used it for the main altar of the Duomo of Milan.

If a resident of Burano wants to paint his or her house, they must submit a special request to the government. Then they get a number of colors available from which they can choose.

In total, almost 3000 people live in Burano. Not much if you know that the total number of inhabitants of Venice and the surrounding islands is about 60,000.

I loved that we revisited this beautiful island and after wandering around we sat and enjoyed a very delicious meal while we chatted to some Aussies sat at the table next to us. We would happily visit again.Read more

Day26
Day out at Murano & Burano
January 9, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C
Sunrise 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 had a cuppa to warm up. The kids had hot chocolate and it's completely different from home. It is really thick and rich looking and not made with milk. After a cuppa we visited the glass musuem and then had lunch which was more pasta. It was nice but not as good as what we have had. After lunch we caught the water bus to Burano which is well known for its lace and colourful houses. This is why we wanted the sun to take photos of the houses. Well they were bright without the sun. The main income for Burano is fishing and is often covered in heavy fog, hence the brightly coloured homes for the fisherman to find their way home. It's not a very big Island but it was just delightful walking around the canals and looking at all the houses. The lace museum was closed today, which Brodie was pretty happy about, but he was the one who wanted to visit the glass museum. By now it's 4pm and the night air is coming in so we headed back to the water bus as it takes over an hour to get back to Venice. On our way back we saw the most beautiful sunset at 4.30pm. I have never seen such a bright pink sunset and was surprised to see the sun setting as we hadn't seen it since 10am. We didn't feel like we did much today but we are all tired and won't be long out of bed.

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.
