This is embarrassing, but true...

I once spent two hours furiously driving in Italy trying to find Florence after my co-pilot decided it would be a good idea to see the sights and try Florentine steak.

After 50 miles of frustration, I worked out that Florence is indeed Firenze, hence the lack of signs to Florence Embarrassed

Never lived this down Grin

If not meant in the aviation sense (i.e: co-pilot); that`s ~~only slightly~~ less worrying/amusing! Grin

Agreed. You need good eyesight to read those signs from FL35 so the odd mistake is excusable. Wink

Worth remembering: Naples (Napoli) airport is not signposted from any nearby main roads - you need to head for the centro and work your way out again.
