Spending hours in restaurants isn't our idea of a fun way to spend our holiday. We would begin our day with a good 7 a.m. breakfast at our hotel and then begin walking. Every few hours we would stop for a quick cappuccino or gelato. About mid-afternoon or a bit later we would pick something up from a local cafe or grocery store and take a little break, a little picnic, wherever we happened to be, and then it was off again

In the evening we would get a quick bite to eat and a glass of wine at a little restaurant near our hotel and then stroll among the crowds for a while.
