Italy is one of those magical places that offers such variety that even if you have visited one city you long to discover more. I have been lucky enough to spend some time in Milan, Venice and Rimini before having children but I have always been left longing to go back. John and I have been discussing a possible road trip down to Italy near the end of summer and I have been putting together a few places I really want to see such as the famous Lakes and eating pizza in Naples but one city that really stands out to me and also features in one of my favourite travel inspired films (Eat, pray, Love) is Florence. Everything about this romantic, historical and artistic city makes me want to jump on a plane right now and be there in the heart of it all. As you may already know as much as I like to throw caution to the wind every now and then I also really like to plan our trips and I am certainly the planner in our house and love nothing better than staring at a map all day working out......
