Today we slept til 11 am and finally feel like the jet lag has worn off. We spent the whole day adventuring around the streets of Venice and also went to three islands-Murano, Burano and another that I can't remember the name of. We had an awesome tour guide named Valerio who made the islands come alive. In Murano-famous for glass blowing-we visited a very famous glass company that creates high end chandeliers. Valerio used to work here, so we got the vip tour to the third floor where there were 4 rooms-each decorated I one color of glass-white, black, blue and gold. It was breathtaking. The most expensive chandelier in the showroom was worth 800,000 euros. We also visited a small glass artisan's shop and she demonstrated how she melts and molds the glass. It was very cool! We then went to the other island that I can't remember the name of. It was very peaceful and even had gardens and a vineyard on it. Then crossed a bridge to Burano-the island with all the colorful houses. It was so fun to wander the streets and enjoy the colors and canals. We had dinner on the island and rode the ferry back at sunset. An amazing day!
