On the second of the island hopping, we went to Murano - the glass island. We walked around, didn't pick up anything except a shard of scrap glass.
On our way home for lunch, we walked past the fish market, and picked up 3 mantis prawns. They looked very small, I chose the 3 largest ones. And for lunch, we picked up a soup mix for Sarah and a cured meat platter for me, yummm.
I took an excursion to the Arsendale, they are quieter than the main tourist area. It is a bit like Lido.
We went to see the Basilica San Marco.
I didn't take any pictures inside, because I read the signs, but apparently everyone just ignored the signs anyway...
We popped to Giudecca, it was very residential and we went to an Italian discounter.
The Mantis prawns were very disappointing, they had hardly any meat on them, and the biggest one already started going bad. I later researched about it, the lagoon mantis prawn are normally much inferior aka smaller than the sea dwelling ones!
