One life is too short to see all that Italy has to offer. Having been there a couple of times I've decided to make a break. But I love virtual trips there and the one today was very enjoyable, thanks.

Looking forward to my trip to the Amalfi Coast after seeing these photos. I remember climbing Vesuvius when you didn't have to pay for the privilege. Would love to head back to see the changes.
