Wednesday April 6
No sun today, but still a beautiful day to visit Murano Island, home of the famous Murano Glass. We hopped on the People Mover (monorail) to the Water Bus which took us to the island. It took about an hour to get there, so we made sure to allow enough time to return to the ship. The moment you are on the island, you see shop after shop of beautiful glass art. It is unbelievable. We had no idea there were so many glass artists on this island. We saw jewellery made with tiny millefiori. We found a shop that sells mosaic pieces as well as various sizes of millefiori. Of course Bob had to purchase some. He is motivated! Each shop was loaded with inspiration. Unfortunately, it was not permitted to photograph the art. It's all stored in our memory banks. We thoroughly enjoyed our day on our own.
At 4 pm we left Venice peacefully sailing the Venetian Lagoon past the famous St Mark's Square and the Doge's palace. Lovely setting. Such a wonderful farewell to a wonderful city.
Dinner at The Restaurant consisted of caviar, lobster and creme brûlée for me, and crab cake, lobster and chocolate soufflé with baileys coffee sauce for Bob. Exquisite!
How are you ever going to eat lunch at CASA again, crackers, cheese and an apple after experiencing all of this?
