This
page tells the story of our 2005 Italy trip. Now, before you
get started, be warned! There are almost one thousand different
pictures hidden away in the links below.
The
'Main Story' link below is a general account of the entire
trip, with a liberal sprinkling of pictures throughout the
account. However, there were many excellent pictures that didn't
fit well into the main story. You'll find many of these extra
pictures in the subject-specific links below. Have a look at
these when you want to see more detail for a particular region
or subject.
