Rome

[Sunglasses Ron]

We are currently on our honeymoon and on the train between Venice and Florence as I type (3 nights in each). Rome is our next stop after Florence before finishing off in Sorrento for 5 nights.

Really enjoying Italy so far and definitely looking forward to Rome..   Can't wait to see your pics Rich.

Out of interest, was there anywhere to buy a half decent SLR camera out there mate? I have got a serious new itch for Photography and wish I had bought one before we came.   If it is a lot more expensive than back home then I will just wait, but it would be good to be able to take some nice pics whilst away.

Any suggestions on a good beginners option (Canon/Nikon etc)?

I was there briefly at my sisters but I'm in Sardinia now 

Been here 10 days on holiday. Get the ferry back on Sunday mate, and then to Rome to my sis till the 25th!


Definitely try and meet up! My Bro-in-law Leo is a chauffeur and knows Rome like the back of his hand 
(He Drives a nice merc, but it's nothing like your dads)

Ron.... we are in Sorrento now. Horrible place.

I'm not really a traveler, always feel there's enough to see in this country without jetting around the world but we went to Rome as part of our Honeymoon back in 2007 and I was blown away, spent a week there but felt I could easily have spent a month, cant wait to go back again sometime.

People are still bored of me banging on about the Pantheon... ....also did Tuscany a couple of years ago and absolutely love Italy really.

Ive just visited Venice (Stayed in Lido Di Jesolo) was quite a nice place but overrun and ruined by Chinese people and Chinese shops selling cheap merchandise

there's enough to see in this country

The history of England/Scotland is so incredibly rich. You could spend all of your holidays for the rest of your life in Britain and always find fascination.

Looking forward to seeing your photographs, it's somewhere I've always wanted to go but just never got there as yet

I too loved Rome,went last year for the Mrs 40th and was blown away by the buildings,Also been to Venice and Sorrento,Venice stupidly busy and very expensive at the waterfront.. (8 Euros for a bottle of coke at a place there ).

 Spent a good few hours people watching in the bar that sits right on the main street in Sorrento.

Been to lots of places in Italy....Lake Garda is also a must see IMHO.

Yes I've heard the lake Garda is nice, we were contemplating getting married there.... Plans changed

All the usual bits aside. We were wandering around and stumbled across the Porticus Octaviae....

Now known as the Skodacus Octaviae...
