The long awaited quick summary of the "Big Trip" in 2010. From October 23 - November 14 the dear wife and I took our first vacation to Europe. We embarked on a whirlwind trip encompassing 12 cities in 4 countries over the course of 21 days. Our first stop was Rome, as we had 5 days before we were due to dock embark the Star Princes for our Greek Isles Cruise we decided to visit the marvelous city of Rome and take a side trip up to Montevarchi to visit the Prada factory.
Alas since this is a food blog, I won't bore you with all the boring details.
A beautiful morning at Piazza Di Popolo (near our hotel), our 5 days in Rome were generally sunny with some rain showers in the mornings on 2 of the 5 days we were there. The weather was in the low teens and was quite comfortable.
