We are going to Italy in October. Couple quick things about us - we aren't that in to art/museums and not big eaters. We don't have much desire to be in large crowds unless it is something we must see, like Rome's main sites so that is why I only have 2 days in Rome (and we aren't spending time in Florence, but rather picking up a motorcycle to head into countryside). We love beautiful scenery and prefer to see it on motorcycle or horse when possible. We do appreciate seeing historic sites/buildings/streets/statues/etc. My husband gets pretty cranky if we are on a forced march - so I can't jam pack a whole lot into every single day.
Rough plan is:*
-Day 1-2 = Rome
-Day 3 Train to Florence and (day 4 as well,) explore Tuscany via motorcycle and horseback - where we need your help. We would love to rent a motorcycle out of Perugia, but can't get a response from them. As an alternative I did get a response from Florence Harley Davidson, so that's my plan as of now.
Val d'Orcia seems like the area we would most like to explore in our short 2 days in Tuscany - suggestions on best route to take from Florence (unless we get a response from Perugia) to get the best scenery?
Suggestions on Horseback riding place? Suggestions on a place to stay overnight in Tuscany/Val d'Orcia?
Rest of trip...
- Days 5 & 6 head to Cinque Terre - how to we get there? Is there a train or should we rent a car?
- Day 7 Train to Lake Como
- Day 8 & 9 Lake Como area
- Day 10 Train from Lake Como to Venice
- Day 11 Venice
- Day 12 Fly out of Venice in am
Someone else suggested we may want to travel the east coast b/c these are all touristy - any thoughts on that?
Thanks so much - new to the forum and look forward to reading more!
