#Italy #Venice #Day 4

Our first stop is Mercato Rialto, Venice's colorful open-air market (or "mercato") bustles in the morning but is quiet the rest of the day. This is a great scene to wander through, full of locals buying their cuttle-fish, calamari, soft-shelled crabs, and other delicacies.

As we rounded the corner, we met with one of Venice's most impressive views — the Rialto Bridge.
 A major landmark of Venice, the bridge is lined with shops and tourists. 
As you pass under the fat arch of the bridge, notice the echoes. Gondoliers take full advantage of its acoustics: “Volare, woh -oh...” 
  After passing under the bridge, we approached the Rialto vaporetto stop. Rialto is the geographic and commercial center of Venice. 

The area near the Rialto dock is popular with gondolas. With about 500 gondoliers joyriding amid the churning vaporetti, there’s a lot of congestion, and this is where many accidents take place. 

We didn't take it , hehe, lol, just to save money! =P

 focus on what she is holding! Carciofi!A- muz-try food!

Our next stop is Murano city.
Murano is known for its glass worldwide. Besides that, there is not much else you need to buy besides the normal tourist objects, such as postcards and other souvenirs.Many souvenir shops try to pass off cheap Chinese counterfeit glass as real Murano glass.
