September 13th - last day in Venice

We enjoyed our last breakfast in our Venice courtyard, then toured St. Mark's Basilica (beautiful!), and walked through the square once more before packing and running through the rain with all our bags to the train station. We took the EuroRail to Florence, but then were stuck in the station for a while since the regional trains were on strike. Thankfully they started up again a few hours later and we made it to Cinque Terre. We met a couple from Australia on the way to Florence who looked up Hurricane Ike on their computer for us so we could see how Beaumont and Houston fared in the storm.
