On Sunday, four of us bought public transportation passes
and went to some nearby islands.
Clarification – a lot of the main “Venice” is islands, but these islands
were like 20-30 min away. Not a
short bridge walk away. Murano is
famous for glass blowing, and Burano is famous for lace (also known as
BO-RANE-OH if you are extremely southern). Both were beautiful.
Afterwards, a few of us rode up and down the Grand Canal. We got our money’s worth of the boat-transportation
passes. Then we headed back to the
train station for another wonderful 12-hour train ride. Austrian countryside is beautiful. I only got a few sub-par photos with my
iPhone, but needless to say I’m pumped for Salzburg in a few weeks.
*** Warning: the islands were my favorite place yet!! ***
One of the glass shops. Don't break a chandelier, they're $$$$.
Glass blowing.
Futball is kind of a big deal here. #eurocup
