This morning we took a water taxi out to Murano to see some glass blowing
Then we had a look around their upstairs showroom where the items were well out of our price range. We ended up buying a couple of the less pricey items downstairs.
Then it was back to St Mark’s Square in a water taxi supplied by the glass factory. With the prices they charge they can afford to supply free taxis.
We had lunch in a Cafe just off the Square where we had some lovely limoncello spritzers. Then we did some shopping. I haven't even started the cruise yet and I've already bought so much stuff I'm worried about fitting it all in my case. Then it was back to the hotel for a rest.
Later in the afternoon we headed back to St Mark’s Square to cross the last item off our Venice bucket list. We had an ice-cream in one of the cafes in the Square. The price was astronomical but so was the size of the sundae. We even had musicians serenading us as we ate.
Despite the fact that half the ice cream seemed to have ended up on my t-shirt I was still so full I couldn't face any dinner. The hotel has a rooftop terrace so we decided to go up there for a drink. But it was getting dark by the time we got up there and we ended up in the downstairs bar instead.
Tomorrow we board the Silver Spirit to begin our Adriatic cruise.
