Arrivederci Venice!

We take the train back to Rome today and fly home tomorrow.  While we’re melancholy about our trip ending, we are enjoying all the rich experiences and sights we’ve had and seen.  

The vacation of a lifetime!  Until we meet again, Italy!!    

And Ok - I have to add to this post.  We woke up to rain in Venice and Andy was feeling a bit under the weather (no pun intended).   We took the water taxi over to the train and then the train from Venice to Rome.  The drive is like 6.5 hours and the train is 4 hours.  We were doing over 150 miles per hour at some points.  We arrived in Rome around dinner - and had one last go with pasta and red wine.  

Then we took a train down to the airport and to our hotel, which Andy had reserved near the coast.  It was called the Tiber Inn.  We were both expecting this little country hotel and our hopes of a sunset were dashed by the overcast skies and rain.   

When we got there we were surprised to find a really nice hotel (especially for the low rate!) and then we were treated to this:

The sun found a gap between sea and clouds.  A Magical end to a magical vacation.
