Italy has so much to offer the traveller, its piazza's - every town has one,
its amazing restaurants, coffee shops, artisans, atmosphere, culture, it
almost seems that you can hear Dean Martin sing :That's Amore" from the
moment you arrive. Each time I have visited this amazing country, I seem to
have a different experience and seem to appreciate it even more, this time,
I was lucky to share it with an amazing group of friends.
Every day we encountered different experiences as we visited various cities,
villages and regions. I would have to say that on this particular trip Rome
was definitely my highlight, it seems that no matter how many times you
travel to this city you will still experience the surreal feeling as you
enter the colosseum, so old, yet so well preserved.
Rome would have to rate in my top 10 cities of the world and although it has
some crazy drivers, it’s what makes the cities character. When in Rome its
almost as though you can hear it sing to you, as you walk through its
cobbled streets that are lined with grand architecture and exquisite stores.
Over the 3 weeks we experienced a truly typical Italian lifestyle; the
quaint villages, fine cuisine, impeccable wine, but more importantly we were
always in awe of its history and the distinctly different regions, all
unique in their own right. As we made our way through Italy we were able to
capture the beauty of such regions as Tuscany, Perugia, Amalfi and the
Italian Lakes Region.
I loved everything about Italy, the Baci chocolates, the Gelati ice-cream,
espresso coffees, the prosciutto, the pasta, the buffalo mozzarella cheese,
oh and of course the Milanese, combine all this with a magnificent group of
people and I could not have asked for a better holiday. To find out more
about travelling to Italy or any other country, contact our travel experts
in either Mareeba or Atherton and I know they will be able to create an
itinerary that will suit your budget and needs. Ciao Ida.
