“Look here, a Segway tour! What a fantastic idea! Wait, I have never used one. How hard is it to ride a Segway?” If I only had a quarter for every time someone asked me that…
Visitors to Rome, Italy often ask - what are the best beaches near Rome? While it's true that the city of Rome isn't very far from the Mediterranean coast (and therefore beaches) -- often those beaches leave travelers disappointed.
