Last night in Venice

Back to Venice for dinner for our last night in the Veneto region of Italy.  Tomorrow we are off to San Marino, the last remaining principality in Italy that survives the older sub kingdoms that made up the Italian country.  As a country, known as Italy, it is younger than the US, and older than Australia.  As a culture however it is multi millennia in age.

Tonight was some last minute items of shopping for friends that were overlooked, plus some more impulse purchase for me.  Last night I purchased a nice spring loaded walking stick, actually for mountain trail walking, but the snow feature I realised would be a good feature for beach sand walking.  So I went back for another.  This trip I also had vowed not to buy anymore hats except for maybe a commemorative Giro cap or two, or three, well four of them and three other hats later, I promise to stop buying.  I think my hat collection now numbers in the 70's and overseas purchased hats are probably overtaking the majority in the collection.

Lorraine of course purchased more Murano glass (so did I in a romantic gesture, matching bracelet pendants).

My final purchase was a Venezia flag simply because I liked it so much.

Then it was a romantic canal side dinner and a lazy walk back to the car with some pictures along the way.  It was not quite dark when we left so didn't have a chance to try out the technique Kevin suggested for night shots.  Back to the hotel for a good nights rest before the drive to San Marino tomorrow.

Until then enjoy the pictures and Ciao.
