Venice part two...in a nutshell

So day two in venice was just a beautiful and somehow we managed to wake up bright and early and start sight seeing again. Luckily we had done most of the main sights yesterday because everywhere was packed with people. We forgot that Friday is not a weekend for everyone so Venice was crawling with people. We decided to go to Murano which is a part of Venice which is famous for the glass. So we hopped on a water bus which was expensive for 6.50 euro but it was the only way there so they must have figured that out and jacked up the price. Once in murano we found a place to see them blow glass. Literally every shop was just glass and glass products so it was easy to find. The man who blew the glass made a famous murano glass horse in maybe 45 seconds tops. It was unbelievable how he just pulled the legs and shaped the head to make a horse right in front of us. Then he made a fish or maybe dolphin which was really beautiful too. I didn't think I waged to buy anything like a trinket or anything becuase glass can look very cheesy especially some of the lamps and vases they had. So I looked for earrings in every store and just couldn't find the pair that I imagined so I just didn't buy anything. After walking around murano we headed back to San Marco to find a gondola. After a little bit of haggling we got one man to let us have 7 ppl when most only allow six and let us shorten the ride to make it 15 euro a person. This was a pretty good price considering it was carnevale and Saturday and at sunset. We piled in and took amazing pictures and passed Marco polo's house! We also saw a place where the Italian Casanova stayed and obviously took beautiful pictures of the sunset. We went out again that night to enjoy our last night of carnevale. The next day we took a train home which was a another 7 hours but luckily not that bad. We survived Venice yay! Next time illnpost about Madrid!
