We're taking a honeymoon trip in mid-May - flying to Bologna, then planning a couple days in Venice (and seeing Murano), a couple in Florence, a couple-three in Bologna then flying home.<br> <br> I've looked at older ItalyThreads, and found some useful links for hotel reservations, but I was hoping to solicit additional advice based on personal experiences. Restaurants, hotels, bars you loved? Some clever shopping district a guidebook might not mention? (I love paper, leather journals, glass beads (I make my own jewelry), scarves and shawls.)<br> <br> Did you find the trains easy to use? I'd like to just rent a car to avoid the schlepping of luggage from here to there, but I understand it's wicked expensive. Anything that you can tell me that Lonely Planet might not, I'd greatly appreciate it. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.33998 Wed, 08 Mar 2006 16:21:50 -0800 Bologna Florence Italy Murano Venice ersatzkat http://ask.metafilter.com/26657/murano%2Dring beautiful murano ring -- broken... I've recently got a murano ring (all glass) which my 2yr old daughter thought could play volleyball with. Result: broken part of the arc is now missing (about 1/3 of an inch of the bottom part). My question is how can I salvage the ring? Could for instance a glass-blower add the missing piece? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.26657 Fri, 04 Nov 2005 13:35:43 -0800 glass murano carmina
