Oct 19 - Venice, Italy


Bought some bread and jam at Koper. Set out riding along the shores of the Meditteranean. Passed high over the waster as the road clung to cliffs and climbed upward. Long and continuous cycling to Venice. Watched the sun turn into a firery red mass of heat and melt into the horizon.

An hour later I was on the bridge leading to the city of bridges. The colorful city was reflected in the waters turning the landscape and seascape into a myriad of colors. Met a boy from Dublin at the boat dock, after having checked my luggage and bike at a garage. Got to the youth hostel and then went across the channel to a pizzaria for my first real Italian pizza.
