| 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! |
