The title is misleading, it should state that is within the U.K. You can get to south Italy from London in less than 24 hours.

Edit: My fault, it is not misleading. I didn’t get the context of somebody using British English.

By coach maybe, not by bus

Good point but I have travelled from London to South Italy on a vehicle called bus by their operators :)

You should consider taking back your comment about it being misleading— the author is from the UK— vernacular is different for busses and coaches.

Misleading is a pretty negative thing to call someones story!

Despite them not intentionally misleading I was excited to read about someone’s trip to Italy on a bus or something. I rarely travel in the US because every place is kind of the same. Why travel 400 miles when I can get some McDonald’s right here?

Where have you been that you consider every place the same? The pit stops on the highway yes, but the difference between San Juan, NYC, Idaho, and Fairbanks is immense.
