Today’s Schedule
Take a vaporetto boat to Isle of Murano. See the glass making shops at work. Admire all the beautiful pieces.
Next boat stop is Burano, the colorful crayola crayon buildings are just like in a story book. I also great place for food, then again, where have we been that it was not absolutely yummy.
My Observations
We have been to Murano on prior trip. We did look into a few other glass factories. Decided to go back to where we liked the presentation and the glass showroom. There was one large size art piece, maybe 2 feet tall and egg shaped with figurines molded inside. Cost – a very expensive 200,000 Euro ($240,000). Nice, but not for me.

On Burano, we eat at the Bar Sport. Great pizza. Al we have sampled in the various place all have a thin crust, with minimal toppings. Not like the USA Pizza Hut variety with a thick, cushy dough, and mounds of topping. Here, minimal, aromatic with seasonings, and mighty good on the taste buds.

I went to wash my hands from the pizza. Saw the reminder – many “washroom” toilets have no seat. Hygienic? For sure you aren’t going to spend time just sitting (-:
