We were excited to go back to Murano after having such a blast there on our honeymoon. The only thing we weren't able to do 3.5 years ago, was actually watch the hand blown glass being made. We didn't hesitate to join the cruise excursion on this final day of our cruise. Enjoy!
Love, Mummy and Daddy
Pulling into the pier at the glass blowing factory. Fun fact of the day: Murano is the only place where they're allowed to manufacture glass using a big furnace. They want to avoid Venice from accidental harm in case a fire broke out.
It's a good thing the only cold day of our cruise was the very last one. Time to start heading home.
I spy a glass dolphin and an annoying salesman trying to get people to buy chandeliers. Once they showed their magic of how to make the hand blown glass, they were ready with about 1 salesman per family to sell you any overpriced glass item you'd like. We'd highly recommend walking down the main strip of Murano in order to purchase the authentic glass at a reasonable price.
Very last stop on our cruise before heading to the airport: Burano, Italy
