Today is the last day before the group left. They had problems to solve. How to get their bags across the canal. Yes, yes there were bridges but you had to drag them over the bridge. There was no rolling over the bridge. If you remember there was issues with the weight of the bags. They decided to hire a porter to meet them at the apartment the next day at 5:00 am. Joyce found a porter and struck a deal for 5. Now the trick was would he show up and become our best friend?
They saved the last day for a visit to the glass island. Cultural moment: The island of Murano is known for glass-making. Ferry-loads of visitors explore the Museo del Vetro which tells the story of glass and to shop for souvenirs. So that is what they did. They rode a ferry to the island, went to the glass museum, and shopped.
They did not get invited to the second floor or back room where the really expensive glassware is. The last time they were in Venice, one of their friends got invited to the top floor with the $5,000 chandeliers. The cheap girls are too obvious.
Here’s a final fun fact – a church on the island supposedly houses the bones of a slain dragon. If Debbie had only known this.
