Two Weeks in Italy for our 2nd Anniversary
In and around Italy
We originally planned this trip during May, but had to postpone it to Oct/Nov. We knew it would be cooler and we'd possibly have more rain, but it turned out to be a perfect trip. It wasn't very crowded for the most part and it wasn't hot and sweaty.
Our itinerary included: 3 nights in Rome, 3 nights in Sorrento (visiting Naples and Pompeii), 2 nights in Florence, 3 nights in Cinque Terre (Vernazza), and 3 nights in Venice.
We flew into Rome and out of Venice. We traveled by train in Italy. We packed very lightly, each carrying an oversize backpack weighing approximately 20 lbs.
We used Rick Steves' website and Italy guidebook to plan our trip and to chose hotels and restaurants. Our budget for hotels was less than 150 Euros a night. We did splurge on food, however. We spent 75 Euros a day on food, but we had a lot of wine. We had wine every night with dinner and for most of our lunches.
