Honeymoon question

OK, so hit the comments box please.

Chicken and I are, as you probably know, getting wed next May. We had hoped to go to Oz for our honeymoon, but currently don’t feel that the 10-14 days we’ll have is enough.

So…

We have narrowed down our choices to two and now can’t decide between them. Below are listed the choices and some of the pros and the cons of both. Any thoughts?

Italy

Good points:

  • Florence would be like Room With a View (this could be classed as a bad thing by C?)
  • Good food
  • Ice cream
  • Some of the greatest art in the world
  • Death in Venice moments regarding one another’s gorgeousness… maybe
  • Lots to see and do

Bad points:

  • Chicken has been before (but we haven’t been there, apart from a nip across the boarder from Nice, together, so it will be quite different)
  • We wouldn’t know where anything was or the language

Paris

Good points:

  • We have been before, we know we love it
  • Great food
  • Great booze
  • Patissiere (doesn’t even need to be affixed with the word ‘great’…)
  • Good places to visit, including places we haven’t been (e.g. the catacombs and Versailles
  • Live jazz (for Chris)
  • The Eiffle Tower
  • Sitting in cafes having esspresso
  • Some of the greatest art in the world
  • Montmartre in the evenings
  • Chicken speaks fantastic French

Bad points:

  • We have been before
  • The French (only joking!)

What to do?!

Florence also has one of the best chocolate cake shops in the world. Jim and Caroline love it, my cousin Tor and Alex had their honeymooon actually in that hotel or one very like it, and the museums and gardens are great, but the icecream… Fantastico.
Also they might have recovered from winning the world cup by then. Oh an dthe coffe is good too, and the panini.
