Europe's kinky over-the-knee boot has it all: popes, painters, polenta, paramours, poets, political puerility and potentates. Its dreamy light and sumptuous landscapes seem made for romance, and its three millennia of history, culture and cuisine seduces just about everyone.
You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny medieval hill towns, go skiing in the Alps, explore the canals of Venice and gaze at beautiful churches. Naturally you can also indulge in the pleasures of la dolce vita: good food, good wine and improving your wardrobe.

Well I'm in Rome. No it's not that simple. Since I last posted on this blog, I have not shaved, showered or changed clothes. In fact, I have spent almost the entire intervening time on a ferry, bus or train, waiting for a ferry, bus or train, or ... Read more >
