\"Grand<\/a>
Grand Canal – Venice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We arrived by train into Venice and caught a ferry (Vaporetto number 1) to our accommodation which is near the Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto)<\/p>\n

A quick walk around to get our bearings and it was off to the islands of Murano and Burano the next day<\/p>\n

For me, Burano was the pick of the day. All the houses on the island are painted in very bright colours – originally so the fisherman could easily identify there house when returning to port after a days fishing. we also did the obligatory shopping for Murano glass – a task we will continue with\u00a0today. When in Venice 10 yrs ago – we vowed that when we returned, we would buy a piece of Murano glass.<\/p>\n
