- Murano -Burano-Torcello, Venice
(We couldn't take this tour to the 3 islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello when we were here before because it would require 5-hour to complete it. But this time, we were determine to see the reknown glassblowers of Murano. Indeed, we were told that these glassblowers were a dying breed, as most have passed on with no need and younger Italians wanting to take up this trade anymore. Like Venice itself, these 3 islands are criss-crossed by many small canals, but the most eye-catching was the island of Burano, with its many darker-coloured buildings)
