Boostin' Kev Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 2nd time I've been there in 18 months, best city I've visited. Let me know if you go I've plenty of recommendations for the kind of things I like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Maybe for new year next year. Think I will go to Italy in the summer and will see how funds are after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Off work til the 10th but could do with being back in the routine even though I've not really been on the drink over the festive period. I can see why my mum says you need to be ready for retirement. Without some sort of structure to your day you're just filling time really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence with a wee trip up to the opera in the Roman amphitheatre at Verona, Throbber? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Florence with a wee trip up to the opera in the Roman amphitheatre at Verona, Throbber? You know me so well! Think we will fly to Milan and back from Rome and visit Florence and Venice and a few places in between. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I made a conscious decision this year not to waste so many of my days off drinking too much and being hungover, and I think I had some (limited) success. Probably helped that more of my family were around this time and they're not big drinkers. Still feel I haven't accomplished much. A few mates went wild camping last week but I couldn't make it, kind of wish I'd made more of an effort now though. Next year I'll be a man of action, maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Garda is well worth a visit too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 We are getting a new pound coin in the Spring with the old one no longer being legal tender by the Autumn. Apparenly 1 in 30 of the existing pound coins is a forgery! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew into Venice, got the train to La Spezia to spend time in Cinque Terre, then went to Florence and Rome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the time we just wandered round the wee streets. Some place. As much as I enjoyed Venice, I much preferred Florence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 As much as I enjoyed Venice, I much preferred Florence. Went to Rome for Honeymoon a few years back but it's really left me with the bug to explore more of Italy. Amazing place. Amazing food. The heat in June was intense though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaguely remember Genoa being nice from the WC in 1990 with Turin being a bit industrial. An ex colleague whom is now a good friend is from near Naples so will look to explore further South on my return to Europe.

I will probably do something similar although i do want to visit Milan. Due a big tax rebate in April so will buy flights and maybe a book a hotel or two but will probably do 3 nights in each place and won't venture further south than Rome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get cheap flights to Pisa and do the trip South - North? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair fly direct there from Edinburgh so can't be far off the cheapest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
