Italy - top five

B ed

Italy - top five

1. Best short break - Verona hands down! (ancient, beautiful setting, hopelessly romantic)
2. Best long w/e - close call between Firenze and Roma, but Rome ultimately wins - great sights, nightlife, food and such a relaxed city for a Capital.
3. Best spot for a summer vacation - Lake Garda (avoid the touristy spots and head for Torri del Benaco on the east bank - simply gorgous)
4. Best (well, worst) crime against fashion: it's a tie between orange jeans (usually worn by over-50 men going through mid-life crises) or ultra-short swimming trunks (one step away from a thong. One guy was wearing them around town, almost leading each stride with his crotch).
5. Most romantic spot - Ristorante Garden, Ravello (stunning views of Amalfi coast).

enjoy. B

Hi lovelies,

Wow, Italy sounds amazing- my mouth is literally watering with all the food talk(wine too of course!). Great bloc, love the pics and enjoy laughing at your many funny descriptions. Soph- cool it honey- don't be adopting the same approach on those South African buses!
Hope you continue living it large(not just with respect to the waist lines) and I can't wait to hear more stories!

Lots of love, Tree x

P.s- am I right in thinking getting lost equates to one or two crossed words!?! Soph- boys and directions..........it aint happening!
