BEAUTIFUL landscape…Italia has it all…ocean, mountains, cities, rivers…it is beautiful!
Pretty language….very romantic and easy to catch on since we know Espanol…AND They use their hands a lot when they talk…(just like the movies)
Expensive!! … the accommodation cost us a fortune! and we easily got ripped off with buying pizza by the kilo.
Dodgy Driving and dodgy pigeons! … the people drive SO fast on these crazy windy roads and don’t slow down or move over for u when your walking on the road…the pigeons don’t either! haha
Great public transport…regional trains are very cheap! …and with that…they NEVER check tickets…on buses or trains!!
AMAZING gelato and yogurt…especially fragola (strawberry) … and that’s a lot coming from me…the biggest chocoholic of all!
Cigarette breaks ALL THE TIME!!! EVERYONE smokes!! and LONG lunches!
Super touristy in most cities…almost thrive off tourism!
Everything is very extravagant (due to the Romans)
Graffiti everywhere!!
CHEAP wine….but did not push their national beer at all!
EXPENSIVE!!! Ah we would have stayed longer, but could not afford it!
Things we are thankful For:
Needle and Thread … already had to sew my leggings, Brads jeans…my jeans but the holes are WAY too big….Brads stolen airport pillow, my cheap skirt, our food bag.
