Venice Update

I fully intended to do a blog post yesterday, but due to unfortunate bus time layovers David and I ended up getting back to our Bed and Breakfast at midnight, so we basically crashed right when we got home. I only have a few minutes right now while David showers this morning but I thought I would share some pictures with you guys. We have been greatly enjoying traveling around Venice and its islands for these last two days since we have the unlimited travel pass. It will end after today but that is ok because we feel we have almost seen everything. Here are some new pictures:

This is the Saint Mark Square (San Marco) and it was filled with cool buildings to see. The one pictured is a basilisk, and you can see the gold-filled interior below.

Here is the magnificent interior of the basilisk. It was stunning!

This is from our third day in Venice. We went to visit Murano, and island very near Venice known for glass blowing and colorful artistic items made from this glass.

The city had set up some displays around town of various glass artwork.

I loved the owl in this one!!

Here is a picture of David as we enjoyed one of our many water bus rides around town and between the islands.

Blue spikes!

Murano was a really pretty island... but not our favorite.

This was taken on Torcello, another island which was simply stunning. We loved it, even more than Venice itself. This particular church was built in the 7th century! 

This is David and on on our final island trip, Burano. The houses were extra colorful here and all of them looked as though they had been repainted that year!

A beautiful sunset as we returned to the main island of Venice. What a way to end day 3!

Ok well David and I are off to the bus! I'll update you later!
