On our next to last full day in Venice - and our last full day when we were both not suffering from food poisoning - we took a water taxi out to Murano Island to look out at (and buy way too much) glass. We were going to head out there anyway, but then the folks at the Metropole offered to arrange a water taxi ride out (as compared to the more circuitous route on a vaporetto). It was more than a bit of a set-up, since they took us to only one manufacturer and then back - and told us that there wasn't really much to see on the island (essentially, so that we wouldn't get a sense of how dramatically we were over-charged) - but in the end it was a lovely day, and I'll post some pictures of the glass craftmanship.
