We just returned from a trip-cruise to Italy and the Mediterranean. Stayed in a little guest house in Rome, toured Naples, Pompeii, and attempted to locate my grandfather village. Food was over the top, people were super friendly and generous, and the ruins et al., were, well, all that you can imagine.
Driving in Rome was like driving in downtown NYC, congested, bumper to bumper, and crept at a snail’s pace. Their interstate, so to speak, is like ours, fast and direct but the high speed trains are the way to travel from city to city. Inexpensive and fast. We went to Florence by train from Rome, stayed overnight, and went back. Weather was a moderate 75, dry, sunny, and pleasant. Plan on returning.
