Re: Italy trip report (long, with pics)
Very nice trip report. Backpacked in Rome/Tuscany for over a month this summer (left for a week, stayed for 6, it's that beatiful) and these pictures are really reeeeaally painfull to watch actually [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Siena is very nice as well and this is completely standard imo [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [ QUOTE ] Well, after looping around parts of the city for a few minutes, we realized the bus was heading out of town - to a town 10 miles away. After we realized this we had no choice but to get off at some deserted country road bus stop, and try to hop another bus back into town. Good times! [/ QUOTE ] |

Wednesday morning, we got up fairly early, packed, and headed out to check out the Peggy Guggenheim museum. Fairly small museum, but it was cool to check out some modern art after seeing places like the Borghese and Uffizi. [/ QUOTE ] I was glad to read that you went to the Guggenheim. Nice little gem among the other jewels in Venice. You really did your homework. |

Re: Italy trip report (long, with pics)
Fantastic trip report. Definitely makes me want to go back to Italy again. I saw all of the same places as you except Sienna.
My favorite was most certainly Cinque Terra. I am 22 so that makes sense, but I also saw very little 'spring breakers' so I think going in more of the offseason was a great choice [I'm not a typical college kid either]. That place is beyond beautiful and one of my favorite places on earth. I think it was a great choice not to spend too much time in Milan either. We had planned to stay two days and left after less than one. If you guys aren't shoppers, which you said your wife wasn't, that place really isn't that great. Italy overall is just fantastic and is my favorite European country that I visited while traveling abroad. They have the romantic language, the food, the drink and the history that is just second to none. Plus, they have the best gellato ever [best in this place next to the Vatican and a little place in Padua]. Enough said. Great to hear you had a awesome time visiting and thanks for writing it up. It was fun to see so many of the same places again and relive it. |

We of course had that all of the time, I think there were two days where we didn't have it for some reason. |

Re: Italy trip report (long, with pics)
This was by far the best trip report I've seen here. Incredible work, Scott. My wife is very pleased, because now I want to go to Italy (assuming I get to go back to Germany first).
