During the italian leg of my 2002 Backpacking Trip Round Europe Chaz and I briefly visited the town of Florence one morning.

During the Italian leg of our backpacking trip round Europe, Chaz and I stayed in the town of Pisa.

As we took the train along the Italian Riviera, our first stop was Rapallo.

We stayed in the Italian capital for three days during our backpacking tour of Europe, just so we could cover all the sights.

After leaving Rome we headed south to sunny Sorrento, where we cruised round islands, climbed Vesuvius, explored ruined city of Herculaneum.

As part of my backpacking trip round Europe, Chaz and I stopped in Venice for a day, on route to Austria.
