Venice and Burano

We have had two days in Venice and I love this city on islands. Our hotel is in a great place on the Grand Canal and we have a little balcony overlooking the canal. Our room looks like a set from Phantom complete with chandelier. Even our reading lights are mini chandeliers. I was a bit worried the first night that the Phantom would come swinging in on the Chandelier!!! Above our bed is a big gold mask!!! All very over the top Italian.

Beautiful Venice!!

We have walked Venice---and yes got lost or as Brenda puts it "temporarily disorientated!!!" All these little bridges look the same after a while!!

The Doges Palace--Venice

We went to the Doges Palace yesterday and it was breathtaking in its beauty! I loved it here.

Today we went by ferry to the beautiful islands of Brurano and Murano. At Murano we saw the beautiful Venetian glass and Brurano is a painters dream---would love to sit here and paint!!!
Tonights dinner is on the balcony overlooking the Grand Canal---bread cheese tomatoes and a bottle of wine!! Bellissimo!!!
