We took the motorcoach into Venice and then got on a boat to St. Mark's Square. Unfortunately, the boat didn't go on the Grand Canal, so we couldn't see what it was like during the daytime. At St. Mark's Square, we visited the Doge's Palace and the Basilica (no pictures allowed inside of either place). Afterwards, we went to the Vecchia Murano Glass Shop to see a glass blowing demonstration and do some shopping.
A little after noon, we met at the Bell Tower to go on the optional lunch excursion to Burano. Burano is a fishing village in the lagoon. Lunch consisted of shrimp cooked in olive oil, seafood pasta, St. Peter's fish, and a dessert and cookies.
We got back into Venice a little bit before 5pm and had some free time. So, we walked over to the Rialto Bridge and did a little shopping.
Dinner at the hotel was pasta and lasagna, veal, and tiramisu.
