We made our return to Venice to enjoy a day exploring the 112 islands that make up Venice. First stop a Murano glass store where we saw 'The Maestro' make a glass horse in lesson than 1 and a half minutes - impressive. Obviously I had to make a purchase, unfortunately my choice of a glass aquarium was out the picture but my white glass bracelet fitted the budget.

Next was the traditional tourist attraction - gondola rides. Stef, Analyn, Jacky, Dee and I jumped on board... The cameras started clicking immediately. If you look at our gondola driver you'll notice he is on his mobile phone. Classic! Once we got into the tiny canals it felt like what you see in the movies. We were treated with a singer and accordion player who swooned us all, even bystanders over the bridge. The rest of the day was spent exploring the multiply bridges and pathways that make up Venice.
Typically we stopped for a kodak moment at the Rialto bridge and Piazza San Marco. A very unique place which doesn't encourage high tide!
