[Idyllchat] Venice at Night

[LRichar306 at aol.com]

We were in Venice for one week in October a couple of years ago.  
 
We wanted to go to a musical production in another neighborhood and we did  
find it and enjoyed it.
BUT, coming home was a different story we got REALLY lost.  We  followed some 
young people who seemed to know where they were going.  They  spoke English 
and they were from out of town, but they did help.  Anyway,  it seemed that we 
walked for a least an hour and finally made our way to the  Grand Canal and 
then took a vapparetto to the train Station and then the  vapparetto that we 
needed for our neighborhood. 
NO ONE accosted us.  The streets were empty! 
 
We went to Burano and had a fabulous meal, made just for us, as we were  
earlier than the locals,  Also went to Murano, which I thought was very  touristy 
and met some very rude Italian workmen there.  The place we missed  that I 
wish we had gone to is the cemetery island.  A lot of very famous  people are 
buried there and often their headstones, etc are very  interesting. 
 
I loved Venice and so did my husband who was reluctant to go.  Also if  you 
are music lover try to get tickets for the opera house or at least take the  
tour.
