Venice and after

(Bronze horses from Constantine's Hippodrome stolen from Constantinople by the Venetians in the 4th Crusade (1204 AD)

I was officially homeless last night. After running through Venice for the day, I tried to get across Italy before nightfall. When I arrived in RioMaggiore, the first town in Cinque Terre, it was 9pm and all the rooms were sold out...
Ill tell you what happens in a little while. Im off to Genoa soon where I hope to have more time to write down the details. I am alive though...

here are some pics to keep you entertained...
