Just came back from a weeks vacation in Italy! We went with a tour company, flying out from Rotterdam to Rome! There were 25 in the group with a guide and an Italian bus driver. 8 days, 7 hotels, many cities, churches and lots and lots of art. Starting in Rome then seeing Assisi, Perugia, Florence, Padua, Venice, Lucca and Pisa and a few other stops along the way.
There are about 500 photo's, remaining after the first edditing, to chose from in my selection alone! Every where you look there is something to take a picture of! I won't bore you with the common photo's of the Colusseum, Vatican City, St. Peter, Trevi Fountain, Michelangelo stuff or the famous Ponte Vecchio over the Arno River!
As a vegetarian I was delighted with what I was presented with! Grilled veg, olive oil, cheeses. The Italian's have a different eating pattern than we have. We got the hang of it and really enjoyed the lunch at the vinyard. This included 4 different wines to try, there own olive oil and a 5 year old balsamic vinegar.
We had the same bus the whole week. Easy travelling out of a suitcase and having a bus as a base. We didn't have to carry anything very far. But there is a catch. We DO have to fly back from Rome to Rotterdam! So those nice big shutters, that were being thrown out across the street from our last ocean front hotel, that could be sanded, painted and rehung in my mexican- soon to have Italian influences garden, had to be left behind!
