Summer hols

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

So far I'm going to the German Derby, Hamburg in july and possibly back to Australia at the end of the year. I was looking at going to the sisters Belgium gig until i read that the venue isn't central to any good hotels and I don't camp.

Have any of you booked summer hols?

I'm off to Italy. Got tickets for the Palio in Sienna in Aug, but will also 'do' Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Piza, Florence, Maranello. We were going to hire a car but if Mussolini did one thing, it was get the trains working efficiently.

Gaz is a tad worried - the rubbish in Naples and the fact Vesuvius hasn't erupted for about 60 years and is due anytime :roll: No sense of adventure that boy.

Hey, well, just think, if Vesuvio does pop while you're there, you'll make a lovely fossil ;D

I KNOW!! I said he'd make a lovely find...Tony the Dig would find a skeleton with a set of sunglasses atop the skull and a 4 pint bottle of milk gripped in his hand.

Aye, Florence is a strong candidate for "most fantastic city in the universe" too. :notworthy: Just don't expect to find any pubs-as-we-know-them in Italy (aside from the ubiquitous Irish pubs)!

@smis - you may be jealous, but I'll be broke! :lol:

Being an Italian I may suggest that maybe Venice is equally a strong candidate for the title :wink:
Venice is pure magic.
Anyway, yeah, Florence is a great place :D

But Venice is like the Italian Bruges, i.e. Disneyland :urff: (not that there aren't nice sights, but well, bloody tourists)

You think? :eek: Never saw Venice like Disneyland at all. If you're only referring to the exceeding number of tourist, well, yes, I may agree, but "visually" Venice is stunning - and I'm referring to the "not over seen Venice" , i.e the beautiful, hidden places behind the well known spots.
Dunno, I love Venice and utterly despise Disneyalnd and everything related to it. There must be something wrong with me :wink: :lol: :lol:

If you want to really see Venice you do need to get walking, and try to get lost in it for a while (which isn't that hard!) It's an amazing experience on those terms. :D
