Day 11, we all slept in a little later this morning. It's very warm again and today we take our first visit to a Sardinian beach, a 10-15 minute drive in our hire car and we are there. It's a beautiful sandy beach and obviously very popular. This beach is best described as Cornish but with sun! The reason I say this is the beach has rugged rocks around it and really does have the feel that you may be sunbathing on one of the beautiful Cornish sandy beaches, th...

This holiday has been an amazing experience and looking at the positives we still have a third of the holiday left to go.

It seems that we have been away for a long time but in a good way, I guess it's because we've managed to fit in so much within a relatively short time. It is very warm as we leave our apartment to catch the 280 bus towards Vatican City, I would say into the early thirties and it's only around 10.30am. The bus stop is located in between two opposing lanes of traffic, and crossing the road in t...

We had seen the Eiffel Tower, enjoyed the trams and Duomo in Milan and taken in the breath taking natural beauty of Lake Garda...and here we were waking up in one of the worlds most intriguing, beautiful and unique landscapes that of Venice. Some of us including myself were feeling the excesses of the previous nights entertainment, maybe those two huge beers...
