Great views. Lots of driving. Nice places to stay- might be a little more comfortable than a tent. Looks hot enough to check out the beach there- some good cycle lanes in that city too. [Ann & Michael Hutchi]

Busy tourist wise.
Lovely buildings - very clean city and well thought out

fabulous touring, Olivers! Been lying here catching up on you. Beautiful photos - love the wee towns and narrow streets. Lovely blue skies! We did ballet today. Without you. Again. [Laurel]
