[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 46031, member: 8344"] Belinda, Thanks for the compliment, greatly appreciated. Italy is fantastic, I hope you have a wonderful time, I am sure you will. I spent 6 weeks there .... cycling! From one city to another. I started in Venice and finished in Rome. That was when I was young and foolish. If I had to do it now, I would buy a beat up, old Fiat 500 and drive from top to bottom, then just dump or sell the car off cheap to someone. Two months, to get the whole Italian experience from one end to the other. There is SO much to see and photograph. Pre planning the sites you wish to see is critical, don't plan on simply stepping off the boat and exploring. Know where you stop and what is there so you know what to do. Work closely with the people you have booked the trip with. My ideas of a great trip are most likely much different than yours, but get the most out of it by knowing in advance what to expect at each stopover. Enjoy, I hope to see your photos when you return! :) Art PS: I just remembered some other cool stuff I have learned travelling over the years: - don't bring ANY expensive jewellery with you. Buy a cheap casio watch, CHEAP, if you are mugged, you won't hesitate giving it up - get a money belt and keep your important stuff in that. Have some small amount of currency in your pockets just in case you are mugged you have something to hand over - probably best not to bring an expensive purse either. Ever see those TV movies where two people on a Vespa drive by and snatch a purse off someones arm and scoot off..... It happens. I don't know that all this really applies in Italy, but this is what I did travelling there and I never had an issue. You never know. Best to flash nothing of value, be street smart and avoid being a target. [/QUOTE]
