Murano & Burano, italy - DaY 12 - March 17, 2023
Out early again to head 2 hours on the water bus to the islands of Murano and Burano. Murano is known for its glass making and Burano is known for its lace.
Murano is a very industrial island where glass production was moved years ago to keep it from burning down the main portion of Venice. We went to a glass blowing demo in Murano and toured their shop, which contained amazing and expensive glass pieces.
We then proceeded about half and hour, by boat of course, to the island of Burano. Burano is known for its lace making and is an absolutely beautiful little island. They paint the houses in very bright colors. The day we were there it was quiet and a great place to wander and enjoy the day.
