Some of you may remember our posts a few months ago about driving down to our holiday home in Santa Marina via the swiss mountain passes.

We are driving down to Italy later on in the year and wondered if anyone can recommend somewhere decent to stay (that includes breakfast) between Lucern and Sarnen in Switzerland.

Next year when we go to our house in Southern Italy we plan on driving down instead of flying.

We plan on driving to Italy next year and wondered if anybody has a left hand drive small 4x4 for sale, which is ideally UK registered.

I have been told that my grandfather was an Italian prisoner of war in England during the second world war. He met my grandmother and wanted her to go to Italy with him to live, but for some reason she wouldn't go.

Have often seen the ribbon decorations on the wedding cars in Italy and wonder how they are made. Have done a search on google, but not found how to make them.

We have been trying to top up our Italian mobile via the wind site the last few days. Each time we put in the amount required and the cell phone number as requested, but it will not go through to the next page.

Just wondering if anyone has seen turtles while they have been in Italy. If so, in which area did they see them and was it at a wildlife park, or somewhere more like in their natural habitat.

Thanks for the advice. I have looked on their website and if it is possible to get ADSL it will likely only be just over a half meg. We do choose our places to live. We have only been able to get broadband in England via a communal radio wave signal for the last year. Never mind the peace and quiet in the countryside is better than the busy towns and fast broadband.Perhaps by the time we are ready to move to Italy ADSL will be available!
Ciao GiannaWelcome to the community. We joined a couple of days ago and have found it a very good place for all things Italian. Hopefully you will get your trip to Italy next year, otherwise you will be getting withdrawal symptoms! Do you speak Italian? Ciao ciaoJohn & Toni
Thank you to Gala Placidia, cilla10, Valentina and Francesca for your welcoming comments. We are happy to be part of this lovely community. It helps to keep the Italian dream alive while we are back here in England.John & Toni
We have found that you have to be as assertive as the Italian drivers! We have been driving in Naples in the past and at a junction had people come up on both sides of us and try to get out of the junction at the same time! We do still find the bits that jut out on the sides of the road a bit un-nerving especially when something is coming the other way. We have also found that we do sometimes get stared at if we are both in the car and there is a woman driving. It seems normal for the man to drive in those circumstances. It doesn't stop us though. Unfortunately a lot of the Italian women drivers do not seem very confident and it doesn't do the rest of us much of a favour!We have been going to our holiday home in Campania for the last three years and we have found that as long as we put on our Italian driving head as soon as we arrive at Napoli airport we are as prepared as we can be. You just have to be prepared for the different style of driving and let nothing surprise you.We have also found that since driving in Italy we drive slightly differently back here and don't think twice about squeezing in that gap that looks impossible to get in.We wish you luck on your next trip!
