Desenzano, Lake Garda

Chris — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 23:12:03 +0000

Although quaint and charming Desenzano wasn’t as lovely as Sirmione. Nevertheless, shops were interesting and we enjoyed walking through the city streets.

Mittenwald, Bavaria

Well, we didn’t think it could get any better but Mittenwald was one of our favourites. Again it's well known for its colourful painted houses, its charming cobbled streets and mountain landscapes.

One of our most favourite parts of Italy is the Ligurian Coast, which they call the Italian Riviera. It’s a truly breathtaking coast with its enchanting, characteristic seaside villages. Each different from the other.

Vizille & Grenoble, France

Chris — Mon, 01 May 2017 22:08:22 +0000

The Chateau in Vizille is pretty impressive and houses the museum of the French Revolution. A bonus was that it was free admission, which makes a nice change. It is an interesting museum which is spread over several floors. Although it was all in French we enjoyed looking at the large-scale paintings evoking the era which followed the logical thread of the historical sequence of events.

Port Grimaud & St Tropez,

Chris — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 20:16:45 +0000

Port Grimaud is a lovely little working port that is full of character and charm. It became derelict but in the last 50 years has been renovated.

Its like a mini Venice with canals, bridges, restaurants, bars ice cream shops and its pedestrian only. From here you could get a boat into St. Tropez.

Peniscola, Spain

Peniscola is a really pretty town which has a fortified harbour and a castle perched on a large ridge overlooking the sea. It is quite an impressive sight and can be seen from miles away. The castle was built by the Knights Templar in the 1200’s.

Benidorm,

Chris — Tue, 31 May 2016 20:23:36 +0000

We were particularly looking forward to lunch at Levis Showboat as they do the most amazing salads. I had camembert wrapped in sliced beef and Ray had sticky chilli beef. They come in a crispy tortilla basket (so delicious, but so naughty).

Sestri Levante is a small town on the Ligurian coast with quite a large sandy beach divided up into lots of private beaches which only the Italians seem to do. You can, however, walk along the water's edge.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Chris — Fri, 30 May 2014 20:28:45 +0000

We stood out on deck as we approached Dubrovnik looking out to the Adriatic Sea which was gleaming under the waking sun. With the beautiful backdrop of the mountains, it was absolutely stunning. The port of Dubrovnik is such a pretty palm-fringed harbour that we immediately felt relaxed and so happy to be there.

Pompeii, Italy

Chris — Sun, 18 May 2014 19:48:48 +0000

Visiting Ancient Pompei is a fascinating experience and so much better than we had expected. The whole place is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside too. I knew nothing of Pompei and Vesuvius before we visited the ruins but I do regret that I didn’t at least do a bit of research on the internet or look through some guidebooks first.
