Italy advice needed!

I'm off to Firenze again in November, and am trying to fit in some extra jaunts while there. Annoyingly, Milano looks as though it may be out of the question, sorry [livejournal.com profile] kareina ! But I have hopes for a couple of research trips for a book I am working on.

Has anyone travelled to Viterbo or Bomarzo by public transport from Roma? Is it sensible to plan either or both as day trips? Is there a reliable bus between the two? And any way of getting up to Lago di Bolsena? I have been trawling through train schedules and Bomarzo at least seems quite doable, but any local experience or tips from those who have made the trip before would be gratefully received!

I'm so jealous.

Just sayin'

Well, I am planning to bore you senseless with the pix in our Magical Midlands Mystery Tour ...

And it will probably end up a misadventure in which my mediocre Italian wages war with recalcitrant bus schedules and late-running trains ...

Echoing what Cal is saying. Give Firenze a kiss for me!
