Barcelona – Venice with RyanAir is just a short flight and with current flight prices an even better bargain. Well, if you remember that Treviso is only called Venice airport, yet technically you are still 30 km from the city as such (Marco Polo would be the real one…). So the taxi was not planned for, but what can you do?

Our main motivation to go to Venice were the last days of the Biennale which we wanted to thoroughly enjoy a last time without the crowds..,

After the first day being pure sunshine we were afraid that it wouldn’t get gloomy this year (what we wanted, too), but we were lucky. Next morning the weather had changed  

Lovely

As most vaporettos (water taxi) were only going from Murano to the main island a lot of walking was on the agenda (good…)

But in between it always cleared up

So the fruit stalls could sell a thing or to as well

Getting some lunch…

Al fresco dining

al fresco drinking?

We love Venice…

Ok, this picture was true 100 years ago as well…

Very much the same

Shipyard

Overhauling the mighty gondolas

Somehow this film got some problem, but it looks nice anyhow

Amazing atmosphere

Groovy

The main church in Murano where we stayed (on the island, not in the church obviously)

I warned you – we were here for art as well…

Fantastic!

The lion of Venice

Just an art gallery in an old factory (glass presumably…)

and a wonderful inner covered yard with a cistern

exodus

You know it yourself

I like this one

Very species correct

And again outside…

Sun peeking down

Canale Grande once more

on our way to Murano (or to the main island – who knows…)

Cemetery

Boat approaching

It’s a boat – obviously

The corner of the cemetery – now the last 400 m to Murano start

Whatever happened – but it looks nice

Our private boat (no, just no other passengers )

Supply chain management is active

Il Faro de Murano… Fitting – white in white
