I am finally free of our tour guide!
That’s a bit mean. My point is, he got kind of annoying after a certain point (if I never hear anyone call me a baby repeatedly again it will be too soon) and also I just didn’t like him. Blame it on the energy drink.
Anyways, today was very boat. I got on a boat far too early (9am) (this is sarcasm) and went basically nowhere. It was a nice boat though. Not a gondola.
We then went to the Doge’s Palace (no association with the Department of Government Efficiency) where there were incredibly few frescoes for a place as fresco-heavy as Italy. This is apparently because the humidity in Venice degraded the paint or something? I barely remember. The days are blurring together.
We then maybe had free time? Our tour guide, for what is not the first time, didn’t communicate something to us and then got upset when we didn’t know (the thing being that we didn’t actually have free time) (this is another reason I’m annoyed by him).
Anyways, after that mess we got on a boat again, where I drank the aforementioned energy drink, and we got to the island of Murano! Or Burano. One was glassblowing and one was food. We went to the glassblowing one first.
We saw some glass get blown, which was surprisingly satisfying. We got some glass stuff, and then we were marshalled off to the other one, where I ate my steak and then mom’s steak and then pasta with meat sauce and also bread, only possibly in that order. Mom bought a glass dragon and we just kinda wandered for a bit. After that we went back, on the boat again, and hit the hotel. I procrastinated writing this (because I was having fun) and now here we are.
