16 July


16 July 

For our last day in Venice, Finn decided he wanted to take a ferry to Murano, an island known for its glassworks.  We watched a glassblowing demonstration and went into many galleries and stores.  We found out that Murano is considered to be part of Venice, and does in fact share the no cars, lots of bridges sense in Venice proper.  We did a little shopping and had some fine pizza at Osteria al Duomo.  On the way back to Venice, we stopped at San Michele, aka Cemetery Island.  The whole island is just one big cemetery, with (I think) two churches on it. We wandered and wandered around this gigantic place before heading back.

As our final Italian activity, we decided to go on a hunt for the best gelato in Venice (as described by Trip Advisor), a place called Gelateria Millefoglie in the San Polo neighborhood not far from our hotel.  The last gelato! [sigh]
