As we checked out...We were offered a 'free' trip by water taxi for a 'free ' tour of a glass factory on Murano where all the famous glass factories are based after being moved from the city in 1200 and something!
Never being ones to look a gift horse in the mouth we took the water taxi over and watched some amazing demonstrations of vases and horses being created. It was very impressive. We then we're given a personal tour of the showrooms and some amazing glass items from glasses to chandeliers. We were given the special treatment for one costing €2900 but when we mentioned our 6 children and how expensive they are...our guide seemed to get us to the gift shop and vanish...how rude!!!
Nicola bought herself a Pandora bead which she wanted anyway so all in all a good deal for us!!
We then took the Water Bus back round the island and mooched for the test of the afternoon whilst waiting for our train. Getting a take away pizza..to go with our chilled bottle of prosecco and a good night sleep...ready for Paris in the morning!!
