The island of Marano is most famous for its GLASS creations
Nancy and Henry aboard a Vaporato (water taxi) from the island of
Vingole (where we docked our boat) over to Venice - a 10-min ride.

The picture-postcard-perfect town/island of Burano. Famous for hand-made lace - and delicious fresh seafood!
Here, our friend Ann
Gaddis is being loaded
onto a water ambulance
for a quick trip from
Burano to the Venice
hospital after an "extreme
shopping" accident. (She
broke her leg -- in three
places -- after stepping off
a small wooden ramp
leading into a lace store.)
Emergency care in Venice
was excellent - and FREE!
She was returned directly
to our boat by water
ambulence complete with
cast and crutches in a
matter of a hours. Most
impressive!
Efficient Italian nautical first-responders in action. We were impressed!
Anyone care for a candy? A bit hard on the teeth!
