ITALY

ITALY (24th November – 1st December 2023)

Trip Overview

When your vendors invite you to their factory and headquarters in Padova, Italy, you do the obvious – extend your trip and squeeze every drop out of it!  PN (Adventure Name: BR:@ Primela), FF (Adventure Name: BR:@ FF) and me, representing my Company, were given that privilege, and we were accompanied by my vendor’s two local representatives – RS (Adventure Name: BR:@danrodgers) and DT (Adventure Name: BR:@ DT).  PN and FS travelled with me, while the other two travelled separately as we all had our own plans and ideas.  We would meet up later, at different times in different locations. 

Aside from exploring Padova (also spelled as Padua), we threw in Milan, Bergamo and Venice into the mix.  PN, FS and me landed in Milan, and at the end, all of us flew home from Venice.  We essentially covered some areas of northeast Italy only.
