Heading back to Tossa via a brief stop in Carpentras. We were all a little under whelmed even though the street was good.
So on to Cadaques, where Salvador Dali used to visit .Absolutely stunning white town.Les mer

Genoa

Stayed in a lovely apartment nearly at the top of a hill.
Found a great bakery with everything gf...hard to make a choice. Of course we had coffee and icecream while sightseeing. Got lost in the narrow streets. Walked Via Garibaldi,a UNESCO list area. This street was for the very wealthy in the 1600s walked the port area, listened to a fabulous free concertLes mer

Cinque Terra
23. september 2023, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
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 dayLes mer

Florence
27. september 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.Les mer

Sienna
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.Les mer

Venice
2. oktober 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
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 VeniceLes mer

The islands
4. oktober 2023, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Today we took a break from the hectic pace of Venice and did a day tour of Murano, Burano and Torcello.
We cruised for 30 mins to Murano, famous for glass blowing. After watching a demo we some time for a wander. Back on the boat for another 30mins to Burano, known for its brightly coloured houses. Fishermen painted their house so they could find them at night. Then onto Torcello a historical islandLes mer

Verona
7. oktober 2023, Italia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Romeo oh Romeo where art thou Romeo.. ... Verona the home of Juliet and Romeo. Of course you have to see Juliet's balcony.
Verona's arena, built in 30AD predates the Colosseum .
Walked the famous Ponte Scaligero which spans the Adige River so we could have a drink before strolling along the river then over Ponte Pietro for dinner. Dinner- the best seafood risotto ever- cooked in Amarone wine.
Spent some time in Castelvecchio, now a museum.Les mer
