9th September
Today we went on a boat ride to the island of Murano. Very commercial and full of glass factories selling their wares. Still pretty and not as busy as Venice. This afternoon we got into the Basilica San Marco, not too much of a queue, not as impressive as I imagined. The mosaics are incredible but the rest, so so. I paid the extra and went up to the museum and verandah. The museum was very interesting as you could see the mosaics up close. Some pieces are the size of a match head. P.S dont try and touch them as it sets of a buzzer. Oops scusi. The horse sculptures that eused to sit at the fron t are now in the museum and date back to the 2nd or 3rd century AD. Very cool.
Thanks for all your messages. I hope that you are enjoying seeing what we see.
