144. Our Happy and Upbeat Take on Day 2 in Venice!

We moved beyond our one bad day in Venice (due to the hordes of tourists) and reveled in the one-of-a-kind beauty and magic that sets Venice apart from basically any other city on the globe.  We describe what was probably our best meal of the trip and its beautiful presentation, and we confess to our new found love of white wine from the Veneto / Friuli regions. We also share very helpful Travel Tips on how to purchase Vaporetto (boat) tickets on line and convert them to the paper ticket you need to board the boat (long story) and how to shop like a local in a grocery store without being called out as a tourist! We also enjoyed a rainy-day boat ride to the island of Burano and we can attest to the fact the colorful houses are still bright and cheery even in foggy weather. We leave you hanging as we walk into the iconic restaurant on the island where we had a long and lingering lunch with locals.
