When in Rome…
You’re inevitably in Italy, which means things are good, because as far as European destinations go, the land of pizza, pasta, Fine Art and Robert Di Niro characters is one of the best.
Brenda and Shaun’s Travel Blog has posts from four Italian cities, Milan, Verona, Venice and Rome. Each is full of what they did and made of the various places of interest they visited. The posts are also accompanied by the most splendid of visual aids - photographs.
Along the same lines is Ibom’s account of adventures in Italy that come in a detailed and informative format, as well as Tara Roberts Travel Blog that does similar work in relaying experiences of traveling the country. However her Pompei Trip entry is interesting, and not just because it is about the city buried under a volcanic eruption. Tara made the error of not hiring a guide at the entrance, a mistake, that with hindsight she regrets - as a lack of signs make it almost impossible to tell what you are looking at. Worth taking note.
Finally, in relation to Italy there is this thread that poses the dilemma of whether one should choose Siena or Florence. It is a decision I was faced with during my own escapades in Italy. I went with Florence, which is a brilliant, brilliant city.
