Italian Job 2, Day 7, Bergamo, 300723
Following the thunderstorms during Saturday night, we woke to a wet and dull Lake Como. We weren’t too bothered as we were leaving today for the next part of our journey, to Bergamo. The sun came out as we went for breakfast and we’re given the best table in the hotel: five floors up with…

Italian Job 2, Day 6, Bellagio and Varenna, 290723
Here is the video of the day’s photos ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Today was nice because we had nothing planned at all, except to take in the glorious scenery. Once we’d eaten at the buffet breakfast, with our table overlooking beautiful Lake Como, we decided we should go for a walk. We had to put some belongings in…

Italian Job 2, Day 5, Lago di Como, 280723
Images from today are in the link above ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I had trouble sleeping on Thursday night. It might have been to do with the hard pillow, or it could be thinking about the next part of our journey. Friday, day 5, involved getting up relatively early for breakfast before heading back to the Stazione to…

Italian Job 2, Day 4, Cinque Terre and Portovenere, 270723.

Italian Job 2, Day 2, Milan, 250723
Our sleep was interrupted at about 4am this morning with the most horrendous noise outside. At first I thought something was on fire, as I could hear a crackling sound. I realised then that it was something hitting the windows, which I then worked out was hailstones. When I looked outside I couldn’t believe what…

Italian Job 2, Day 1, Milan, 240723
The original Italian Job 1 was a trip that we experienced during the summer of 2016. We travelled North to South from Venice, taking in Bologna, Florence, Pisa, Pompeii and Herculaneum, then back up to Rome. We used the very reliable Italian train network to get about and everything went without a hitch. Italian Job…

Here is the YouTube link for the photos ⬇️ Friday was our last full day in Valencia and also the hottest. By midday it was nudging 30 degrees so we made sure we had plenty of sun cream on. First we did a bit of bimbling around the main shops of the Colón area. There…

Valencia, ES, Day 3, 010623
More photos are here ⬇️ https://youtu.be/NIK2Lpcdcq0 The day started off with breakfast in the apartment. Mon Suites Benlliure was well equipped so we were able to make our own breakfast sandwiches and hot drinks without having to go to a café. Once we were ready and out, we headed to another ancient artefact, the Quart…

Valencia, ES, Day 2, 31 May 2023
Please find more photos here ⬇️. https://youtu.be/QgaIfZ5KeyE When I awoke, I was not feeling 100%. I had a niggly cough and headache which I could attribute to us flying through the air in an aluminium tube for two and a half hours. However, it was a beautiful morning and we needed supplies, so, once we…
