On Saturday, we took the bus to Venice then the vaporetto (water taxi) to the island of Burano known for its lace and colorful buildings. We had a delicious snack before exploring: cichetti (on the outside, chopped cod w mayo, pepper on top) and piadine mignon (tiny sandwich w ham, mascarpone, and bell pepper).
Next stop, the island of Murano, known for its glass.
Getting back to our hotel took over 3 hours. Many vaporetti came to our dock but were so crowded that only a few people could get on. Once back in Venice, there were two bus connections to get back to our hotel. Long day.
