Destinations: Countries - Italy; Regions/Cities - Florence, Lombardy, Tuscany, Veneto, Venice Categories: Cruise Ship; Hotels/B&Bs; Art Trip; Foodie Trip; Shopping; Sightseeing; Independent Travel; 2 People Page 1 of 29: Fair Warning To The ReaderWhat follows is quite detailed. We document our trip impressions in this manner mainly for ourselves: time can and indeed erases details, allowing only the thick brush strokes to remain. We wish to remember the details as well, insignificant as they seem at times, hence this Notebook format. Also, it seems to us to be a reasonable manner in which to note curiosities encountered, things learned, deep personal emotions felt during trips and prompted by events, people and places, architecture and art, or things, people and events which amused us, or bemused us. There are also reviews of hotels and restaurants, with names and addresses provided, car rental and driving experiences, airline and Customs stories, encounters in shops, cafés, and public places. If the above is not a deterrent, please read on. |
