We are staying in a lovely area not far from the Rialto Bridge - not on a canal this time but still in a very central district. Our bathroom is about the size of the motorhome so we are enjoying a sense of space at the moment. We took the vaporetto (what else) to the colourful island of Borano today - families used to paint their homes in bright colours to designate where their family’s quarters ended and a neighbor’s began, as well as to make their homes more visible from the sea. The tradition has stuck - today Burano is a rainbow of fun, bright colours. It is also known for its fabulous hand made lace. We spent a lovely morning here - a truly lovely island. Took the slow route back through the lagoon to St Mark's - late afternoon and it was packed. Will have to go back early in the morning before all the tourists. It is now 7.30 and we are heading off for spaghetti and seafood - another of Stefania's recommendations.Another wonderful day in Venice!
