Italy

The 2011 summer holidays continued with a week in Italy. From Geneva to Venice by train, then a couple of days in the city of canals before we headed for the eternal city Rome, also by train. Italy was an exercise in lining up and avoiding all things "vietato". Apart from that, there was a lot to see and eat ;)
