Boat Ride to Murano

The boat ride to Murano takes between 30min to 45 min not including
the time you are waiting for the Vaporetto. So travel time to and from
plus some time there .... You can estimate a whole morning or most of
the afternoon gone.
On the island you will find various shops selling high end to
trinckets and classical or modern pieces. Some shops have a "fornace"
attached where you can actually see a artisan work some glass.
Sounds nice when reading it, but in reality the demo only lasted about
5-10 min. In this video he is forming a vase. And the only reason they
do it is to then lead you into their showroom for you to buy.
And if you look at these guys work, you can easily tell they so do not
want to be there.
