1/31/00 Recommended accom within 25 miles of Pisa ? (dgo)
|
| |
We arrive in Pisa in July but 3 days early for our booked main holiday accommodation a little further south. Can anyone recommend clean quiet simple accommocation for these 3 days, not far from Pisa as we arrive at airport late at night and do not want to drive far then ? Lucca might be a possibility. B&B/residence/agritourism could be ideal. Family of 4. Unfortunately the hotel at Santa Margherita Ligure, much recommended in these columns, is far too far ! |

Why don't you try to stay in Livorno which is about 3-4 miles from the airport and is definitely cheaper than Pisa ( I'm affraid that lucca is even more expensive than Pisa , even though it' a great city), I don't now any addresses over there , but you can reach pisa by train in about 20 mn , try to get a guide like the let's go Italy or something like that |

There's little or nothing to do in Livorno itself, though! C. Glebbeek |

1/31/00 Skiing the Dolomites (Steven Patterson)
|
| |
I'm an Australian going skiing in the Dolomites (Alta Badia and Val Gardena) between the 11 and 23 of March. Are there any other Australians skiing or snowboarding this region during March ? If you have been to this region before can you recommend any good runs (advanced skier) or any areas to stay clear of ? Thanks. |

1/30/00 Italy in Sept/Oct 2001 (Nicole)
|
| |
Hello! My friend and I are planning a 2-3 week vacation in Italy in either Sept or Oct 2001. We are debating whether to rent a car or rely on trains and buses. I feel the car would be a good choice because of the freedom it offers, I do not wish to be bound by the limitations of schedules and I also wish to travel to areas outside the main cities (countryside). Is this wise for 2 young women? Are the italians crazy drivers like we hear? Any advice? Thanks a lot! |

Car would be the best (but it does not come cheap: forget that idea! Country: can be done by bus (I have done it) but I would suggest the car for that. |

Get a car! Driving in Italy is easy and will give you freedom you can't get w/ public transportation. Just remember: Find a parking spot in or just outside of any major city and leave your car while you stay there. Don't attempt to drive in a large city (besides, you won't need to -- walkind and busses are fine). Take ALL your belongings out of the car whenever you park it. |

1/30/00 Religious and National Holidays (Tim Dilworth)
|
| |
My wife and I are planning to be in Naples and vicinity at Easter this year. With the National Holiday on the 25th of April coinciding with the Easter holidays, I am trying to find out just what will be open and operating on Easter Saturday, Easter, Easter Monday and Liberation Days - trains, taxis, restaurants, museums, etc. Would appreciate if someone can help me or tell me where I can get that kind of information. |

A must see is of course the thursday evening and Friday morning procession on Procida Island. A living and wlaking representation of all Holy Bible, long almost 2 hours and 1.5 kilometres. Unique in the world something like for what I know , almost the 5% it happen in Tarragona, Spain. Have a look at: www.campnet.it and look for Procida Island. Enjoie your period, Giacinto Lubrano. |
