We have decided to go to Italy for our honeymoon! So bye bye hicken rice, laksa, nasi lemak and hello gelato, pasta, pizza! Even though we have been pouring through guidebooks we are still as clueless as before! Which hotel to stay? What to visit? Where to start off?
There is one thing we are sure of, tour group is not for us. Even though we may not have the time to do any detailed planning…
- Travelling with a bunch of old people / families with children
- Spending half the time in a 40 seater coach and the other half of our time waiting for latecomers
- Being herded around a city filled with history and amazing stories
- Being given a black face by other tour members just when we want to grab a gelato and refusing to get up the coach
- Missing local farmer’s market / Sunday market
- Not knowing where we are half the time except that we are on the road
- Being force feed with lousy food when all we crave is a thin crust four cheese pizza
The list can go on and now it doesn’t sound all that appealing just because we are lazy to plan. So we have come to a unanimous agreement that we will save up the $1000 SA tour travel vouchers for a Bali getaway early next year!
We have listed a few places we must go (1) Florence, (2) Pisa, (3) Venice, (4) Rome, (5) Vatican City and if schedule permit (6) Milan.
But other than that, we are clueless! So my fellow well travelled friends and blog readers, I need some help!
- Any hotel recommendations for each city? We are fine with local hotel chain of 3 to 4 stars hotel but more importantly the location must be easily accessible via their MRT/Train stations.
- Must visit places to visit in each city?
- Must try restaurant / eateries?
- Any interesting off the beaten path?
All your help is very much appreciated!
