The vaporetto takes 35 minutes to go from Murano faro to Burano. Almost there you pass the island of Mazzorbo. I'm led to believe one of the best restaurants in the lagoon is here but it doesn't open until April do I've not been able to sample it.
These right for renovation properties are on the left of the canal.
A view to the left.
The vaporetto stop at Mazzorbo.
The church of Santa Maria della Assunta on Torcello, one of my favourite place in the lagoon.
The Ponte Diavalo on the walk from the vaporetto to the churches.
Looking back along the towpath to the entrance.
The two churches.
The church of Santa Fosca, it's which is surrounded by a porticus in form of a Greek cross.
The church of Santa Maria founded in 639. Inside is a beautiful mosaic of the Last Judgement on the rear wall and a mosaic of the Virgin Mary in the dome.
The Madonna and saints mosaic.
Leaving Torcello back to Burano. That will be the next blog.
