Another fantastic day on the Italian Study Tour! The day began by boarding our coach at Florence and commence the 3 hour drive to Lido di Jesolo, just outside of Venice where our Hotel is situated.
We had free time to explore the area and have lunch by the beach. After lunch we started a game of a sport which is incredibly scarce in Italy, touch football.
After a thrilling and enjoyble game we got onto a bus which took us to the port where boarded a boat to take us to the lagoon island of Murano, famous for glass creations. We saw a demonstatration of glass munipulating techniques by The Master then proceeded to have free time to explore the surrounding glass shops. Sidenote: dont let Lachlan Smith near a glass whale again, didnt end well this time.
When we were finished our shopping we reboarded the boat to go to Burano. When we arrived we witnessed a truly unique sight in the coloured houses. After a small breifing and an interesting tale of why the houses are coloured we had some time to explore the island. We the returne on the boat to Lido di Jesolo where we got settled in our room and started a new game of touch footy on the beach.
Signing Off
