BURANO versus MURANO

And weather was becoming better and better....

And here is our 4th day in Venezia!

Here is our outfits for the changing weather...

Sylvain was wearing a 40's pendelton jacket.

And this is one of my favorite skirt...

bought in Ebay many years ago, full and confortable...

it made many travels with me from Hawaii to... Venice!

So if you are planing a long trip inthe city of the Dodges,

you have to take one day to visit isles.

The most famous is Murano!

Murano is known for his glasses factories.

But I must tell you that Murano was quite dissapointing...

We visited the glasses museum but I would not recommend it.

Don't stay a long time in Murano, you must prefer to continue your trip to...

BURANO!!!!

You will have to sail about 1 hour from Venice center, but it's worst it!!!!

Burano is a small fishermen island.

Instead all places that we visited before in Venice, Burano is very well restored.

All houses are painted with bright and joyfull colors.

I don't think a lot of fishermen still live there...

All small Streets are full of restaurants and...

laces shoppes! Laces from Burano is really famous...

but also so expensive, most of shoppes were selling made in China stuff, what a pity!

My skirt had autumn leaves and solorfull rhinestones on it... perfect fit!

And we came back to city center...

where Sylvain and his mother chose to test a strange thing...

Can you guess what is it?

Kiss fishes!!!!

I was quite afraid to test that...

And with his new feet we were able to have a stroll at night!

It's also nice to visit by night, all streets are almost empty!

The atmosphere is totally different!!!!

Are you ready for Venice finally Under the sun?

To be continued...



Have you ever been to Burano ?

What do you think about all these made in China souvenirs ?

City of the DOGES...

And my vintage dresses could finally go out....

 

Here are the view from our huge hotel room!

 

 

 A small balcony to enjoy Venice's roofs!

We were really lucky to have such a nice room!!!

 

As weather was really nicer...

 

we decided to climb at the San Marco Campanile.

 

That's easy, there is an elevator!

 

The view was really breathless!

 

You can see all those narrow Streets, beautiful!

 

So to speak more about my outfit...

 

 

I could wear this 50's dress with flat ballerinas to walk...

 

 

It was still a bit cold so I used the scarf that I used on the first day as a turban as a bow to protect my neck...

 

Nice yellow 50's sweater for my husband.

 

A place must not be miss if you visit Venice.

 

That's the Doge's palace!

 

It's so well restored.

 

Here is a picture from the Bridge of Sighs...

 

Do you know it's not romantic at all?

 

Sighs were from the prisoners who went from the Doge's palace to jail!

 

Taking all the time vaporettos instead of buses was really fun and exotic.

 

 

Water level was really high.

 

We also visited some venitian palaces from the XVII-XVIIIth century.

 

But a lot are in really bad condition.

 

 

It's part of this city charm....

 

 

but a lot of buildings need urgent care!

 

 

There are  scaffolding here or there but it's still not enough...

 

 if they want to save it for the next generations!

 

 

When you are strolling in this city you must have an eye on everything...

 

 

Look at this umbrellas shop!!!

 

We even finished this nice day with some sun rises!

 

Enough to see linens out of windows everywhere, so italian!

Do you wear vintage when you are travelling?

Did you know that Venice is in danger?
