Hey All,
Having a great time in Italy!
The Trip started in Rome.... did it all. Saw the Collesum, the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, the Catacombs... the spanish Steps etc.... you name it,I've been there!
Then from there on to Florence. Had a wonderful time there... shopping and sightseeing. We did Pisa (tacky) and even made a stop at a little farm for wine tasting/lunch in the hills of Tuscany.
Then on to Venice. We did the Canal tour, the Gondola Serenade... You name it we did it. The Mirano Glass Blowing tour. Then on to the little Fishing island of Burano for an authentic lunch.
This tour has been so well organized, I am 100% convinced that one couldn'nt do this much on their own. Every minute is coordinated... step off the bus and the tour director has phoned ahead...whatever we are going to do is ready and waiting for us. Tour around, walk a bit, and the bus is waiting at the other end of wherever we've been walking. It's been wonderful. Really. And the hotels have been first class as well.
Tomorrow on to Assesi.
I see there are lots of posts here and I don't have much time... so I won't read any of them. ha ha But I'm sure there will be lots to catch up on when I return.
See ya later,
Josh
