Italy advice needed!

[blamebrampton]

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 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!

*nods* Sydney. I'll fly there immediately. My trusty flying vacuum cleaner should do the trick!

Ouch! Make sure your friend stay AWAY from you when you're checking in the luggages!

They always want to help, because I look so clumsy when I take my giant suitcase, as I did on that trip (BOOKS! and pingrid's boots ...), but the thing is that although I am little, I am immensely strong due to a lifetime of lugging (bales of lucerne, bags of oats, foals, more recently backpacs full of books and manuscripts), while they look more muscular, but in fact are not, as they only ever go to the gym and work on ellipticals ;-)

Get that vacuum cleaner flying, Huey!

The seating and cushioning charm are a little wonky, I have to fix those before flying. Luckily, I don't have any family jewels to worry about. ;)

You lead a very interesting life. Someday you have to sit down and write a book about your oats and book-carrying experiences!
