Yesterday (Wednesday) we did a lot of walking visiting St Marks Square and the surrounding area. St Marks Cathedral is an amazing building of sheer opulence of the era. The treasury holds many of the 'spoils of wars' with items dating back to the year 400. We had an hour long 'taxi' tour around the various canals and saw a variety of areas that make up Venice.
Today, Thursday we went to Murano to the glassworks, and saw a lot of amazing items that are made in there. There are a number of glass manufacturers in Murano, but only the one we went to produces amazing hand made.
We then got a boat to Murano which is a beautiful and colourful area. Homes are painted in bright colours and the overall look is spectacular.
Tomorrow it's the Dolomites. Rain is predicted, but that ought not create any problems for us.
More later…..
