Day 4. Venice. Burano.

Hello new day!

Today will be a Venice “must see” day!

Let’s start! We are taking a ferry to Burano! Terminal D! Check correctly were to go to! Our ferry brought us at Murano – glass island! 🙂 because of its famous glass making artisans! and next stop was Burano!

Half an hour of windy voyage and we are on the spot!

Burano is known as one of the most colorful island in the world! There are couple version of local legend about the reasons to paint each house in a different color. The official one states it was for fishermen to find their way home during foggy weather. But an alternative states it was fishermen wives colored houses differently so their faithful husbands would find the right house returning back home deadly drunk from a pub. To be hones, I prefer the alternative legend version. As it sounds more natural. :))

Rows of houses, all colors and shades of the rainbow!

It’s really a photographer’s dream!

The picturesque views all around you!

Can’t stop to take photos 🙂

I’m not a food blogger 🙂 but I can not skip mentioning this squid ink pasta at a local tavern. Try it!

and of cause eat local ice cream! it’s so delicious, even cats like Italian gelato:)

No ideas what to write more about Burano – just look at this photo – this is true happiness, I’m really happy to be here!

We are back to Venice and it’s always a question – to take or not a gondola ride:) ?

The city of Venice sets the rate at €80 per 40 minutes and after 7 pm – €100.

May be, it’s super – touristy you say, but in my opinion – this visit would not be complete without a gondola ride!

There are different variants where to go, here we are on the Grand canal

and now we are enjoining small ones 😉

Look at the traffic jam:) The ride was awesome! Great experience!

We are on the St. Mark’s Square! One more thing you can do here is – get on the top of the Campanile tower by elevator and observe an amazing view from there!
