    A little side into France with Karen and Ian.
    On the way to Caromb we stopped in Mornas. The walk to castle is a very steep 137m up but worth it. Afterwards we needed to stop by Vignoble Art Mass to taste some beautiful wine.
    Stayed in a cute little town, Caromb where not much english is spoken. Our accommodation was very french, 3 stories up very narrow steep steps.    Baca selengkapnya

    Caught the train from Genoa. 1st class was great but then we changed trains and it was 2nd class madness. Vernazza is beautiful.
    Saturday here is crazy so many people, Monday not much better . We escaped by walking from Vernazza to Montorosso. Stunning. Also walk to a tiny church high up in the hills.
    Took the ferry along the Cinque Terra coast getting off at Riomaggiore and Porto Venere. Another perfect day    Baca selengkapnya

    Florence

    27–28 Sep 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Trained from Vernazza to Florence. It was a bit confusing...we didn't realise the train was late so it was redirected meaning we didn't have to change trains ..bonus. Florence station was like Central but on steroids.
    We love Florence, busy vibrant and crowded.
    We visited the Uffizi, walked across the Ponte Vecchio to the Pitti Place, did 2 walking tours to hear the stories of Florence and visited the Galellio museum.
    Found delicious pasta, ravioli and pizzas to eat plus cakes and ice creams.    Baca selengkapnya

    29 September 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Day trip to Sienna by train. Walked around the town. The main reason for visiting was to see the Sienna Cathedral. - not disappointed. We did the stairway to heaven climb, where we could look down on the inside of the cathedral as well as look at the countryside. The floor inside is marble pictures and the library books date 14th century.
    Gordon bought his man bag here.    Baca selengkapnya

    Arrived in style, 1st class on the fast train. What scene greeted us...the Grand Canal. Got the water bus to our stop, Rialto Mercato. There's a little Piazza where we go for drinks and delicious dinners.
    It's a little confusing at first trying to navigate the streets and canals.
    We've walked around St Mark's Square, the waterfront, sat and watched the boats while eating icecream, fun shopping at the local market,visited the Doges Palace and had a gondola ride.
    Love Venice    Baca selengkapnya

    Today we drove around the lake to get a different view. Still stunning but much mister than yesterday. First stop Menaggio for a gelato and walk before catching the car ferry to Bellagio. After checking out the shops and a bite of lunch it was off to Nesso, a quaint little town. Walked down to the Nesso bridge and waterfall then drove back to Como along the narrow winding road. Thank goodness Ian was driving.Baca selengkapnya
