10-11 Days Italy Trip in JUNE

Ashearo SG

Hello all, I'm a 20 year old male planning to go for a free and easy trip to Italy from 20th June to 1st July. Currently I am by myself (friends cannot afford) so I am wondering if there is anyone at all who would like to go with me. The main cities I want to visit are as follows:

Flight on 20th June 2009

3 days in Rome (21st, 22nd, 23rd)

2 days in Florence (24th, 25th)
2 days in Milan (26th, 27th)

2 days in Verona (28th, 29th for Laura Pausini's concert in Arena di Verona)

1 more day in Milan (30th)

1st July flight back to Singapore.

I have gotten a rough gauge of the total price for accomodation and air tickets from travel agencies and it comes up to about 3500-4000 SGD.

I am able to speak Italian.. not very fluent, but enough to get by.

I am flexible and the abovementioned places can definitely be changed to cater to your interests (except the Laura Pausini's concert which I must attend). I will start detailed planning (using guidebooks and internet) shortly after this. Anyone interested, please feel free to post here or send me a private message.

Grazie tante~

i need some mushroom!

Ashearo SG

Are you all interested?

Kuali Baba SG

I'll be going on my own holiday during that time, but I must remark that it is rather rushed IMO. You throw away 6 hours each time you board the train to get to the next city. Be selective about what you want to see each day. Enjoy your trip!

Ashearo SG

I'm open toincreasing the number of days for the trip though... :) Thanks.

Kuali Baba SG

Oh, summer will get pretty damn busy, and your trip is only 2 months away. Hope you'll find a companion soon, or else the best airfares and rooms will get away from you.

Have you tried Couchsurfing? Your host might even take you around.

Ashearo SG

I'm more inclined towards a trip done by myself or the person im trravelling with... more exciting and adventurous that way...I'[m going to go ahead by myself if I cannot find anyone.. just checking here to see if theres any :)

logistic SG

ok this sounds interesting... would you be going to venice?

Ashearo SG

At the moment no, but if you want to come with me, I can make it such that we go to Venice. Are you interested?

Ashearo SG

Drop me a PM if you are interested. Im going out, will be back later tonight. :)

logistic SG

I was planning to go Rome to watch the champions league finals.

Also I'm rather worried about my NS enlistment date.

Kuali Baba SG

My bad: Depending on the train you choose, and the distance between the station and your room, it can take up to 4 hours.

Ashearo SG

Its alright, im only visiting a few cities. :)

My italian is not very good as well, i pick it up easily because both my owner and my GM are Italian. I'm learning French at the same time too, helps with my PR application in Canada..

I'm sure you will have a blast in Italy !
