Beautiful layout but lacks content

The new version is more theme-oriented which makes it more like Experience series than the traditional country guide. I personally prefer the old school approach which gives sufficient information on all types of places of interest, although I do agree with the reduction of places to sleep, eat or drink since these are available elsewhere. However the current version he gone too far in this direction, and quite often a sight only appears on the map or in the text without further explanation what it is - something sometimes difficult to get when you are new to the place. Also the picture for the San Giovanni del ponte in Padula was wrongfully the one in Napoli.
