Rialto Bridge
Our walk in the rain to the bridge.
No scaffolding this time.
I didn’t go to Hard Rock. But instead waited patiently to get some views of the Grand Canal from the bridge.
Le Perle
On and around the bridge there are lots of shops and we went into one that sold jewellery made out of Murano glass. Linda had seen a necklace that she liked in the window. Once inside we were shown other pieces that were similar.
Once Linda chosen one she asked for matching ear rings. Then we were shown trays of glass and worked with the jeweller to select the glass to be made into the earrings.
I was fascinated to watch the jeweller take the glass, the special wire and the pins and in 10 minutes put them all together for a custom pair of earrings.
