Hi all!
I've posted on a couple of travel forums, but I knew my friends on PS would be great help as well. I am getting married April 14 (rapidly approaching!) and we are going on our honeymoon right after.
We booked it over the summer, and had one night in Florence, four nights in Monterosso (along the Cinque Terre coast) and two nights in Paris. Back in October, Monterosso had a horrible flood, and they are still trying to rebuild. By all accounts it appears it should be re-opened in early April, but much of the hike along the coast is closed. Along with that, it seems as though it may not be as "picturesque" as it was, since making it pretty is the least of their concerns.
So... We are researching other options. We cannot change our airfare, so we will fly into Florence and fly out 5 days later. We could stay in FLorence, we could make a short trip to Siena, or we could go to the Portofino Coast and stay in Rapallo.
What would you do? This is my first time visiting Italy, and since it's our honeymoon we want it to be as special as possible. Any experiences in these areas would be GREAT!
