I love Italy too:-
Sorrento in the bay of Naples is v.nice.
You can go see Pompei
Nip up the coast to Amalfi/Postitano/Ravello
Take boat trip to Capri or Ishcia
or just kick back and eat top food, drink top wine.

The alps up north in winter is really good too if you like a bit of alpine sports.

Spent some time in Milan, Cinque Terre and the Dolomites last year. Absolutely gorgeous.

I would pick The Long Hot Summer, so I guess that really is my favorite.

BTW, if anyone puts Quest For Fire, they are going on my ignore list.. that or 2001:A Space Odyssey...

Quest for Fire


Of course, if you gotta go then chillin to The Wall wouldn't be a bad way to go.

I think you would like Australia. Big country and the people are REAL friendly to visitors. Great beaches, reefs and mix of comopolitan cities and the wilderness of the outback.

Australia is a dump. Aussies are very rude and will rip you off and/or beat you up. Scenery is crap, weather is either too hot or too cold and if the crocs don't get you the sharks surely will.It's too far away and everything is too expensive and the food is horrible.
Best to go somewhere else or stay home and watch TV.


All the above applies to Craggy Island too. Don't go there either.

Yes, you get the Door Prize.
Mind it don't hit you in the **** on the way out.

Also, our women all have veneral diseases, terrorists train out here and we have some of the worst TV in the world (watch Neighbours or Home and Away for evidence). Cannibals and werewolves roam unchecked and drop bears are the scourge of bush walkers and livestock alike.

I am not well traveled. However, Paris is incredible. I could easily live there if it were more cycling friendly. I would never grow tired of wandering the streets.

Favorite large city for bike riding? My hometown of Philadelphia is incredible. Believe it or not.

Same as here and I would add that here the dogs all have fleas and the landscape sucks.
Don't come here to live!

Fleas! Hah! Of the top 10 venomous snakes in the world, 9 are found in Australia. Anyone thinking of visiting should reconsider.

I do believe! I lived there for a while in the '80s. I rode a century there! (Hey, I know many of you are racers, but I am not and it was a major accomplishment for me.)

[earth_dweller]

And horror of horror, there's always a chance to see/hear Russell Crowe and his band at any pub in Australia!

Oh the inhumanity.

You Aussies might have some problems there, but we Americans can trump ANYTHING you might present with this:


George W Bush


I just vomited a little into my mouth just writing that.
