It's gotta be Heinz, always Heinz, no other bean ever crosses the threshold of our house!....If I'm ever passing your way I'll drop a few tins in!

Can't beat Rome - we've been there loads of times and never tire of it - or did you mean somewhere less busy and more relaxing??

Yea done Rome. Loved it. I can still remember thinking i was in a Father Ted sketch cos every person in this restaurant was a priest. Ooh we laughed.

I meant smaller. Ive also been to Praiano on Amalfi coast.

How about Genoa or Bologna? Bologna I know and like and BA fly into it. Genoa is easily reached from Pisa and you can probably get flights there anyway or go via Milan even - loads of trains through it as it is a main Milan/ Naples route.

Looks like your bus questions were answered Pommybird! Even doing the train and changing at Pisa Centrale is really easy as the station is a slow 5 minute ride from the airport. If you do use the train though remember to stamp your tickets!!

Let us know what you decide!

Off-topic I know but I found Heinz Baked Beans and Heinz Baked Beans & Sausages here in Padova but they seemed really dear - if I'm remembering correctly they were about £4.00 a tin. (I didn't buy any!)

RYANAIR ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! they stopped Forli and now March & April they are stopping Rimini.

I am sure it's because when they stopped Forli and moved it to Bologna they thought that they would get same amount of people BUT i think it's egg on their face....






So i have decided to walk back from now on

Meridiana are in trouble and chopping flights too. Know Ryan aren't in trouble but I've heard this is something they do a lot once the market is established. Bizarre.
