All about Venice
24th May
Since we were working, we decided to go to Venice after 5:00pm. So we started our journey towards Venice by 5:30pm by car. It was 30 minutes drive and we parked our car at the parking near the train station “Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia”. It costs around 7 euros for 2 hours.
In the evening, mostly in other towns of Italy shopping centers close early around 6:00pm, but in Venice shopping centers are open quite late in the evening. So we got enough time for window shopping.

About Burano
Burano is an island in the Lagoon of Venice. It is located to the north of Venice, very near Torcello, and is famous for its lacemaking. The island with about 4,000 inhabitants has a curious leaning bell tower that is visible from a distance. Burano has become one of the most visited islands for its colorful houses. Every so often, it’s compulsory for the neighbors to paint the façades of their homes and they are not allowed to choose the color but are notified of the specific shade according to where their residence is located. A legend is told that the houses were painted with bright and cheerful colors so that the sailors could see them on gloomy or foggy days.
