Italy Plans Coming Together

I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty stoked about going to Italy in April for Paganello. (Paganello is a frisbee tournament in Rimini, Italy). The tournament is pretty much shorted. Actually, there really wasn't anything to short, because our fearless leader Eva pretty much took care of everything. I will need to get sand socks, but that's a hell of a lot less effort than booking accomodations.

Anyway, really it's the rest of the trip that's starting to take shape. Kristin and I were talking yesterday about how REALLY we should be going for about 5 months. There are so many places that I want to see!

We have it narrowed to this: We're landing in Frankfurt and heading straight to Munich to see my good friend Jayanti. I'm pretty stoked to get to go back to Germany! I feel like my German came a long way, and then went right back where it came from. I'm studying again, and this trip is a very good motivator, although I'm sure I will not be where I want to (language-wise, not location-wise) by the time we leave.

After Germany, it's on to Italy, specifically Cinque Terre, Florence, Rimini and Venice! Then it's back to Frankfurt for a day, as we fly out for Canada that night. If you've been to Italy and have any recommendations, please let me know.

if you go to Florence check out Bill with www.ibikeitaly.com. I recommend the wine and olive grove tours. By far the best way to see a days worth of Chianti.
Otherwise, give yourself plenty of time in Cinque Terre... there are 5 villages to see!
Venice too.. you will need 3 or four days to cover it as well.

Cant say enough about Rimini and the time you will have there. Paga is the best in the world!!

Enjoy the trip.. Wish I was coming too..
