the fascination of traveling
The first time I went to Italy, I took a 19 day bus tour with my sister and mom. We began in Rome, traveled south, through Sicily and up the Adriatic coast, stopping in such wonderful places as Venice, and going north to Bolzano, near the Swiss border. On our return to Rome, we stopped in Florence for the weekend. One of the treasured experiences was the variety of Italy hotels during the trip. Most were comparable to those you might find on a web site such as www.cheaperthanhotels.co.uk/Italy/, and it was entrancing to see the different architecture, facings and decors.
