PRSKY71 0 #3 August 18, 2006 Well, shoot... We have an Italian young man volunteering at our office and I would ask him for you but he left about an hour ago. Anywho, I'm sure you'll get some great ideas... How FUN!!!

irisheyes 0 #4 August 18, 2006 Where are you going? I spent a semester in Rome and got to travel all over. I loved every minute of it. Rome is wonderful, soooo much to see and do, Florence is great too, very easy to get around. The Amalfi Coast is breathtaking and Ischia, an island near Capri is also worth a trip. Need a tour guide??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #5 August 18, 2006 Do?.......... Rome Amalfi GO TO CAPRI Compare the Gelato Be able to speak three sentences into any conversation and they will love your for it...take it to English from there. Cross streets quick Rent a Vespa for a day Stop in every Cathedral that you pass Drink lots of vino Don't bring meat back in your bag Buy your sunglasses there Buy something leather, crystal, and lace Be prepared for an education in fashion Take a catacombs tour See Davide' Check out some 18k gold It costs extra to sit down at cafe's Eat something sweet in the Pantheon Square in Rome Watch out for Gypsy's..they're tricky Each region is known for something...so indulge in that speciality.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ffejdraga 0 #15 August 19, 2006 Hey Bubbles, I went there a few years back. Here are my recommendations: Rome Florence, gotta do them. In Florence, be sure to stop at Vivoli, it is a rinky-dink gelato place right around il Duomo (the cathedral), but they have the best gelato in all of Europe, IMO. Siena... a nice small town bound by medieval walls, beautiful, old, wonderful. Venice is cool, but it smells in the summer. Still, go there so you can say "ahhh, Venice" just like Indiana Jones.... The most beautiful place I have seen in italy is Cinque Terre. There are 5 towns (cinque-5, terre-lands, pronounced chin-kwa tare-eh). It is up on western coast, and each town is about 1-2 miles apart, you get to the first one, and then hike up the small mountains, and walk the ridge over to the next town. The whole time you are right over the water, looking down, it is spectacular. Each of the towns are small, and finding a place to stay for around $20 a night is not hard to do. There is also a train connecting the towns if you don't feel like hiking. Here is a picture, not taken by me, just from the web CINQUE TERRE HEREare some more pics and info for ya. Enjoy the trip, and feel free to hire me as a translator/guide to go with you. jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites selbbub78 0 #16 August 19, 2006 Quote The most beautiful place I have seen in italy is Cinque Terre.
