Am facing a massive backlog of stuff now having spent the last week in Italy going sightseeing crazy, what with running out of time and all (I know, smug still) so a quick ready reckoner;
Venice - flooded. Couldnt walk anywhere or get into Basilica and almost ruined shoes. How they sell suede in this town I do not know. Apart from that, though, really cool to wander around, esp. once we managed to lose the ever-present American tourists talking about how much they missed their X-boxes. Wanted to shake them and scream "youre in Venice!"
Verona - calmer but cool. Lots of Roman stuff esp. Arena, must come back and watch something here next year. Stayed on Lake Garda which was beautiful.
Florence - slightly disappointing as v hectic, and also went there on a monday which meant the Uffizi amongst other things was shut. Santa Croce amazing though. Also having problems getting around as I managed to deck it and smash up my knee - doh! OK now though.
San Remo - nice campsite. Only arrived a couple of hours ago!

Flooded? ... Venice? ... Surely not!! V envious of Italian forays, and determined to secrete self in your bags when you go back. Will avoid Americans, as I don't know what an Xbox is. Really cold in UK, so perhaps we'll just go off on a girl thing for a few months. Have already discussed Morocco with Julia. Love M
