We toured Italy in the summer of 2008 with some friends Bill and Sandra. We all enjoyed the trip very much, apart from the flights to and from Italy on Alitalia.
The food in Italy was great everywhere. Lots of Pasta and Pizza and a great variety of fresh local foods everywhere we went. We did not notice an over-use of garlic as we had expected. In Australia and USA Italian cooking usually has a great deal of garlic.
And now for a few pictures….
Above shows a shot of the Grand Canal in Venice.
Here I am standing on a bridge across the Grand Canal in Venice.
Here we are on the Gondola ride. We named the oarsman “Charles Manson”. We were treated to a bottle of Italian Spumante served in lovely plastic cups!
Not a cheap ride along the canals of Venice, but hey, we had gone all that way to see what there was to see!
We later visited the Isle of Capri. It was a great day, and the water really does look like this there…
