Back from honeymoon tomorrow

boogieman

Had an awesome time with Bride of Boogie in Positano on the Amalfi coast for the last week. Back to reality and the UK tomorrow. We've been to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Capri while we've been here and really really enjoyed ourselves. Ok the momumental amount of honeymoon sex might be a factor, but seriously, I think this the best holiday I've ever had.

A few things that Chilli or Johnny(?) mentioned about Italy have struck a chord. Firstly how clean the place is: no graffiti anywhere, the streets are swept regularly and it's a very pleasant place to be generally.
Secondly, Jesus the Italians are so stylish. Even in a bog standard tee shirt and trainers they manage to ooze coolness. I'd even consider going gay for some of the blokes here. And the women: just wow, I've seen some absolute stunners this week.
Thirdly, the food. Dear god, the food. Totally superb.
Sigh.

Sounds like heaven mate. We went on our honeymoon in May - 10 days, Venice, Rome & Amalfi. Easily the best 10 days of my life. Not a drop of rain in 10 days and the best food, drink and beautiful places. Italy is an amazing place although it has it's shit holes (I backpacked around the country when I was really young) but all we saw was beauty in everything. A magical time.

I was checking the classifieds on this forum when we were in Amalfi (on honeymoon) and I actually bought an amp from Travisthedog.

Paid a deposit from the hotel bedroom on the hotel wifi whilst my wife was getting ready to go out. My wife is very understanding/forgiving...thankfully.

Yes, very stylish! I found the Swiss were also stylish and very good looking.

And they have awesome chocolate.

Welcome to Married Life!

Ha ha, yeah I know. Quite sad, but the pull of this place is something else.

thomasross20

Too right about the chocolate. 

We're going to Rome for 4 days next march. Heard it's good but expensive. 

Would love to go to the other places you've mentioned.

I don't think anywhere in the Eurozone is cheap any more, let alone Rome. You'll have a great time though, Rome is very interesting.

Glad you enjoyed it mate, Yes Italy is amazing, we went to Positano for a day, lovely spot. The sea is heavenly for swimming, so warm. The people do look amazing, was glad I had sunglasses on at the beach @-)

Any recommendations regarding Rome, must do's etc? 

Bet you're gutted to be back. I've been on some trips where I've been glad to be back here. And some where I was gutted to be back (loved going to Germany). Trouble is with most places that you couldn't afford to live there. In Scotland you can buy a 4 bed detached house with garden and conservatory for 160k in some decent places - no chance in Munich within commutable distance IMO, for example! Anyway! glad you enjoyed. Feel free to post pics!

Czech republic is still cheap outside of Prague, 40p for a beer, we went in May.

I love Italy (or it-lee as we call it), but last time I was there clean it was not. Sorrento in middle of summer, in the middle of a 3 month bin-man strike made for a pretty wiffy pong lol.

Usual recommendations re Rome, I'm sure you've seen them in every travel program or book. The Colliseum, Trevi Fountain, St Peters Square, Vatican etc. If you're going in March, don't expect it to be necessarily warm btw. Last time I was there in spring it was wet and friggin freezing!

I'll be glad to get back tbh, lots to do and look forward to at home. I've got a new workshop being delivered very soon, so plenty to sort out and preparation to do before it turns up. Also lots of wedding stuff at the house still to clear up!

Really? Hmm, sounds like a decent cheap holiday for next year. Ta!
