Our goal on day 3 was to find some of the Hidden Gems of Venice and to keep out of the heat. But first a bit of a wander around the alleys of Venice.

2024 Venice Day 2 Murano and Burano
The plan for day 2 included a tour to Murano and Burano islands. Murano is the home to a number of the world famous Venetian Glass Craftspeople. Burano is where the Lace Craftspeople have their shops and studios.
To get there you need a transfer by boat, which was where the tour started, not far from Saint Marks Square. Time for a wander.

2024 Zadar Sunset
One of the great experiences of my Adriatic Cruise has been the sunsets, the Zadar Sunset is amazing.
It is worth a trip to Zadar just to experience it. If you don’t believe me then believe Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock said : ” Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world, more beautiful than the one in Key West in Florida, applauded at every evening. ” Those were his very words during his stay in May 1964.
There are other reasons to visit Zadar, will share more later.
More sunsets to come, and even a sunrise.. 🙂
Oro @ Cipriani
One of the accidental benefits of this trip was the opportunity to celebrate a friend’s 21st, well maybe a multiplier more, birthday.
As my friend is not exactly frugal or the retiring type he picked Oro at the Cipriani.
Being a restrained and bashful type, we allowed the guest of honour to decide on the venue and, as it was his birthday, the wine pairing as well.

Let’s start with Venice. I chose the Rialto Experience Hotel due to its location. The hotel is next to the Rialto Bridge
