- looked down from the window
and saw a gondolier turning in a narrow corner
.
.
as usual
.
The weather looked so nice & sunny,
so took vaporetto from Accademia to San Marco,
and from there to Murano
- it takes about 40min to get to Murano
.
In Murano everything is smaller than in the "city"
.
Muran is famous for its glassmaking industry since 1291

Interesting glass sculpture

- saw some interesting & beautiful objects
- the prices for medium size vases are
around €600-800 + shipping (very heavy!)
(later saw similar vases near San Marco
with lower prices like €400...)
- difficult to know wether really made in Venice or in China
.
.
= glass museum
- interesting history of glass-making
and lots of beautiful objects
including chandeliers and table decorations
