This is, really, my last installment for Italy 2012.
All of these photos are from the “third half” of our trip–after Venice and through to the end.
First off–Amy and me taking it all in, on the trail to the Duino castello, just north of Trieste:

This one was taken with the self timer and the camera on a rock during our second hike in the Dolomites. We were really feeling good!

Thanks everyone for reading, commenting, encouraging and coming along on our wonderful ride.
Hope I’ll be doing it again in a couple of years!
