Parma = the world's best ham,cheese, balsamic vinegar!!

BUT - you need the time to see and taste it all!

I found this great food tour that they offer in Parma ... you go to a Parmesan cheese proecessor and a place where they produce the best Prosciutto in the world ... prosciutto di Parma. After lunch at a winery, you go to Modena and try Balsamic vinegar from the place where it originates. Wonderful right?

Well ... this is a full day tour - starts at 8:30am and done by 5pm. BUT - we hadn't scheduled a full day in Parma ... so, we're dropping a night in the Amalfi coast, bumping everything by one day and staying in Parma for an extra night. This means re-booking rooms that we've already booked in Florence and booking an extra night in Parma. Not something that can be done online ... because the Italians apparently don't do the whole "online" thing.

Glad we have a good long distance phone plan!
