Today we started to travel outside of the island of Venice. We walked to the water bus station and waited for a boat. A boat arrived at approximately 11:18 and we got on to it. The wind was billowing by my face while I stood on the boat deck. My calves were hurting while standing on the boat deck, while the boat traveled through the water it finally reached Murano. We then traveled to the other water boat stop so we could get to Burano. After we got to the water bus stop we waited for a water bus to arrive. A boat arrived and this one had seats! It felt so nice to sit down after standing for a while. It took about 30 minutes to get to Burano, but we got there. In Burano there were lots of colorful houses including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. There was a leaning bell tower that looked like it could fall down any moment so that made me a little uncomfortable. After my dad took lots of pictures we headed back to the water bus stop and waited for a boat. The same boat came and my family got some seats. Some teenagers were pushing through the crowd and my dad felt so disrespected that he wanted to collar them and lecture them about respect. When we got off of the boat we headed over to a gelato store and on the way my sister found 4 glass objects including a hedgehog, two small pieces of candy, and one big piece of candy. Then we went to a glass museum and looked at lots of amazing glass work. The glass work was so good it blew me away because it once was sand and it now is a glorious piece of artwork. Then we moved on to a glass factory and they were making something that was so cool and detailed it looked as if it wasn't real! After we left the glass factory we decided to move on home. We headed to the water bus station so we could catch a bus. We missed the first and second bus which made me feel very frustrated. Since the next bus arrived in 19 minutes it gave me time to go to the bathroom. The next bus arrived, but it made five stops. I was right down by the motor so it hurt my eardrums and gave me a headache. We then arrived at Venice again and we got off the boat and headed off to our apartment. Then we had supper and my dad and I went outside to sit by the canals. Then we found this plant that smelled like rosemary, so we researched it and found out it is called sea fennel and it is edible! We then picked some for my mom and went home. My dad and I waited until sunset and then we went out again to take pictures with his tripod. I got tired and we went home to go to sleep.
