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.Lue lisää

Before leaving Tossa de Mar we had our last day trip to visit Besalu. Another lovely old town from the middle ages. It was the capital of the county of La Garrotxa, 10th century .There was a large Jewish quarter.Lue lisää

21. syyskuuta 2023, Italia ⋅ 🌧 21 °C
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 concertLue lisää

Cinque Terra
23. syyskuuta 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 dayLue lisää

Florence
27. syyskuuta 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.Lue lisää

Sienna
29. syyskuuta 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.Lue lisää

Venice
2. lokakuuta 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 VeniceLue lisää

The islands
4. lokakuuta 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 islandLue lisää

Today a did a bucket list item....... gondola ride. Enjoyed every minute. Everything thing looks different from the canals.
Afterwards it was off to the Doges Palace.. This was the residence of the Doge and the seat of government. Built in 1340
The opulence on the chambers is amazing.Lue lisää

Verona
7. lokakuuta 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.Lue lisää
