Today, the sun came out and the waters were calmer so we set out on our water taxi to two nearby islands.
The Island of Burano is known for its brightly colored fishermen's houses and its casual eateries serving seafood from the lagoon. No one was eating today though. All of the locals were busy pumping water from their homes, restaurants and other places of business and sweeping the flood water from the streets into the drains. It was so sad to see all of us tourists with no place to spend our money. We had reservations to eat lunch there but had to cancel.
