Europe Day 15: Venice

.: October 09, 2012. Tuesday :.

Hubby pointed out to me that Venice on a map looks like a fish. Interesting fact.

We skipped breakfast at the hotel and decided to have breakfast in a cafe. So we hopped on a bus to the main island and purchased two water bus tickets. We first went to Murano island to see a glass making presentation and look for souvenirs. Ah we had our breakfast there as well.

 

~ The best breakfast experience ever. Breakfast by the canal. Awesome ~

~ Gosh, I love 'em all, candy color haha ~

A nice lady from the Murano jewelry store told us to go visit Burano island. The houses in Murano island are in brighter color and smaller than the buildings in the main island, but we were told that houses in Burano island are even in more brighter color, so we followed the advise and hopped on the water bus to Burano island. Took us about 30 minutes to get there.

~ And she was right! Look at those happy, bright colors! Totally love it ~

We went back to the main island to spend the rest of that day. Had gelato, played with pigeons, and of course, took a gondola ride. I didn't know that we weren't allowed to feed the pigeons, only later after we finished taking pictures with them that we saw the warning board. Those who feed the pigeons will be fined. Uh oh. 

We didn't up the bell tower as well, as the line was crazy long and I didn't want our precious time in Venice gone just waiting in line. So yeah, we skipped that one.

We ended the day with a nice dinner by the canal.
