Default Hey from Australia :)

Hello! My name is Elisabeth and I live in Queensland, Australia. I joined this site because I'm planning my first trip overseas with my family next year. We're going to France and Italy for 2 months. I have family in Italy, so I'll be staying with them. But I need lots of advice!
I can't wait to meet everyone

Welcome Elizabeth! I have never been to Italy except Sardinia but, while I am no expert on France I have around that place and would be happy to reccomend some sights to see-are you going anywhere specgic in France or are you just looking for cool stuff there?

Thank you! Well the plan is to spend 1 week in Paris and then drive down through France until we get to Milan. On the way we hope to stop at towns and experience the country. I would love your recommendations!

Welcome! Good to see another Aussie on the boards!

I can't be of much use for France, but I've done a bit of touring around Italy. Off the top of my head, some of the cool things Italy has to offer include:
- Rome - Forum, Colosseum
- Vatican City
- Pisa
- Pompeii
- Cinque Terre

If you browse the boards I'm sure you'll find plenty of info.

Enjoy!

Welcome Elisabeth with an S from Elizabeth with a Z

I am not much of an Italy and France expert but I'm sure you'll get tons of advice from our more experienced members!
