I’m hoping that someone is able to once again help me with my plans to get from Firenze to the German Cemetery that lies beside the SS65, the Strada Statale della Futa between Santa Lucia and Traversa (near the turn off to San Giacomo).My original
Everyone here has been so helpful with my driving dilemma...thank you.Now planning the drive from Firenze to Verona area, then from Verona back down to Firenze, perhaps down through Collodi area.
Despite much advice not to, we've decided to rent a car in Firenze for four nights. The main reason for this is that we need to get up to Futa Pass to visit a WWII cemetary and we thought that with a car we wouldn't have to rely on bus.
Hoping that you won't mind my using your knowledge to better plan my trip to Tuscany :)We'll be using Firenze as home base and busing/training it to nearby towns... but would like to rent a car for one or two trips.
Hello to all!I'm Canadian but would like to leave part of my heart in Tuscany. I'm traveling to Tuscany at the end of September/09 with my mother, using Florence as our home base in an apartment.
Hello to a fellow Vancouverite! Aren't you loving the warm days we're having!Thanks for the comments. We'll be in Italy for two weeks. We're rethinking the Elba trip...as you say, it's probably best to take a couple place off our list. We're using Florence as our based, have rented an apartment there. Our initial plan was to take bus and rail into Tuscany and just let our eyes, ears, and nose guide us. Then the driving seemed to take over. I think the two day trip up through Futa Pass and up to Verona and back might just be it.Will surely pester you again for tips and advice since you've been to Italy so often :)Best,Monica
I've been neglectful and failed to thank you for the reply to my posting back in May...thank you. It was most helpful. We'll still be driving near Lucca, but will save our visit there for a bus or rail trip. Bologna will also be a rail trip as i'm trying to avoid, whenever possible, driving in larger cities.I hope to grab more of your Italian wisdom in the near future :)Smiles,Monica

Canadians don't make very good picketers. We prefer to discuss over a beer :)
