Four lovely days of relaxation and rest in beautiful, sunny Ischia.

旅行者Cheers Mike. Sunshine helps. Unfortunately, the forecast for the next 3 weeks is diabolical. Almost as bad as the UK! 😂💦🌧️☔
旅行者24º and sunny tomorrow Sue, but after that it looks like 3 weeks of showers and heavier rain in Northern Europe. We are debating whether to abandon our planned route, and head south to Spain and Portugal. We've got the hang of this now.... We could always come back and do Switzerland/Germany/Holland/Belgium again.
Great to have options and just be free to decide where to go when. Loving watching your trip, something to aspire to If I could get Mike to pack light haha xx [Suzanne]

Las Vegas?
2023年5月14日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
No, just our hotel lobby in sleepy Badajoz.
In fairness, the NH Gran Hotel Casino Extremadura is a gem, and tremendously good value. Highly recommended if you ever are in this part of the world.
Badajoz - lovely surprise

Porto - Soooo not Lisbon!
2023年5月18日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
How can two cities be so near and yet so far?
As much as Jane and I just didn't 'get' Lisbon, we absolutely loved our two days Porto.

When in Porto......

Severn Tunnel Junction........ Not!
2023年5月19日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Porto train station is my new favourite station in Europe.
It is so good, there was a queue of tour groups today waiting their turn to go in and see it. How nuts is that?

Sacre Bleu.....It's the Sacré-Coeur!
2023年5月31日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Despite a few previous visits to Paris, Jane had never been to the Sacre-Coeur. Our trip back home provided the opportunity for us to stay here for one night and put that right.
