And so to Verona for a short stay and to attend the famous Verona Arena Opera Festival. This was a warm Italian evening of much glamour and ceremony, and probably too many Prosecco's (sparkling white).The lead soprano was no spring chicken (as I am told ... Read more >

I imagined that my remaining time in Europe would be in the roughest accommodation so far, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find my family home B & B in Menaggio, Lake Como(at 40 Euro per night!) was extremely pleasant, and the breakfast loaded ... Read more >

Well named, this place is very picturesque and the walks along the lake are different to Annecy, mainly because it is higher on the swiss side of Lake Geneva, and then higher mountains are snow capped. Lots of 5 star hotels, lots of cashed up people.... Read more >

I finished my special train trip at Montreax on Lake Geneva, and continued around the lake by train to Lausanne, which surprisingly is quite a big Swiss city on the lake, but more French than Swiss. Too big and bustling for me, but I managed to book ... Read more >

On Thursday 10th June I took the first of 3 special swiss train rides, and wondered whether I would be really bored, as each is at least 5 hours, and someone had written a review which said that Golden Pass was pretty ordinary. So I was not expecting ... Read more >

How wonderful it was to leave Budapest on a hot humid day and fly into Zurich and feel the crisp air, then to Lucerne which was like an airconditioner had been switched on, really crisp and lovely. The lakes and mountains are picture postcard greeness ... Read more >

Well, we did arrive in Provence, finally!!!!! We had some fun and games around some towns where we missed turns or ended up in reconstruction areas with no redirection routes. But that is part of the travel experience in a car, and not for the faint ... Read more >
