Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco “the finest drawing room in Europe.” Imagine to be part of this enchanted picture, sitting right in front of the cathedral, ordering a coffee while listening to a live orchestra. The Caffe’ Florian is all that. Opened in 1720, this is Italy’s oldest Cafe’. If you are traveling on a budget, you may wish to hold off on this unique experience. A simple coffee with whipped cream is $12, and the ‘music supplement’ is $6 more. That’s what I call a memorable Venetian coffee…
How much does gas cost in Italy?
If you are planning to rent a car in Italy, you may wish to know how much gas costs these days. One gallon of normal gas (not premium) costs around $6.70.

Back from summer vacation in Italy
Some of you may have wondered why we haven’t updated our blog recently. Well… we were in Italy for almost a month, visiting relatives and exploring new areas, in particular the Apulia (Puglia in Italian) region in Southern Italy. We’ve come back with lots of new ideas for upcoming postings, photo-albums, screen-savers and more. By the way, anybody guessing where this picture has been taken?
