Day 14 - La Spezia - Rome

(written by Craig)

Our anticipation of the wonderful  Tuscan coast was very disappointing. We ignored Tomtom and followed the coastline as much as we could, but was only met by abandoned houses and empty beaches. We concluded that the Tuscany most revel about is infact the wine district up the centre of Italy through Florance which we are traveling through on our way back up.

We had planned to spend a night along this baron coast on the way to Rome, but now made the decision to carry onto Rome, putting us a day ahead.

We had been warned of the terrible drivers in Rome and would have to agree!! They are shocking!! No indicating, driving down the middle of both lanes, excessive speeds of up to 180kph, Crazy!!!!

With all this in mind we're glad we chose to stay in an outer suberb and catch a 40min train ride into Rome tomorrow.
