A Colorful Island | Jean and Dan in the colorful town of Burano |
While we were in Venice, we decided to go to the island of Burano, a small, colorful island 7 kilometers north of Venice. Burano is one of the greater centers of the lagoon of Venice, with its 7.000 inhabitants around, a flourishing activity of fishing, laces and tourism. It was overcast the day we visited Burano but the village was so colorful it didnt matter! |
| First glimpse of the colorful houses in Burano |
|  | We travel from Venice by water (with a "vaporetto"), a boat trip of about 40 minutes in the middle of the lagoon, here in Burano we discover a maze of narrow streets "calli" and banks "fondamente" on small canals.
Burano has its own architectural style with tightly packed houses and unlike Venice, Burano is very rich with color. |
