2024 Venice Day 2 Murano and Burano

2024 Venice Day 2 Murano and Burano

The plan for day 2 included a tour to Murano and Burano islands. Murano is the home to a number of the world famous Venetian Glass Craftspeople. Burano is where the Lace Craftspeople have their shops and studios.

To get there you need a transfer by boat, which was where the tour started, not far from Saint Marks Square. Time for a wander.

2024 Zadar Sunset

2024 Zadar Sunset

One of the great experiences of my Adriatic Cruise has been the sunsets, the Zadar Sunset is amazing.

Zadar Sunset 2024

It is worth a trip to Zadar just to experience it. If you don’t believe me then believe Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock said : ” Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world, more beautiful than the one in Key West in Florida, applauded at every evening. ” Those were his very words during his stay in May 1964.

There are other reasons to visit Zadar, will share more later.

More sunsets to come, and even a sunrise.. 🙂
