Parfois le soleil tape tellement fort qu’on en perd un un peu la boule... du coup... je vois que j’ai préparé ce blog mais ne sais si je l’ai publié... Un tien vaut mieux que 2 tu l’auras, donc je prends le risque de vous le publier.. Bien entendu, aujourd’hui 5 juillet nous sommes bien loin de là... pas de bonnes connexions durant le reste du voyage... espère pouvoir le rattraper... Sommes au bord du lac Majeur... et tout ok... Abbaye de Pomposa Pour en savoir vraiment tout : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_de_Pomposa Mais, allons à la découverte de la célèbre abbaye de Pomposa, une abbaye bénédictine située sur le territoire de la commune de Codigoro (province de Ferrara) qui, avec son majestueux clocher, domine la verte plaine environnante appartenant au territoire du Delta du Pô, inscrit au Patrimoine ... read more

When I mentioned that my feet were itching again, I already said the destination wouldn't be far. In Europe, luckily, you needn't go far to see loads of interesting things. It's what I love about the continent. It's so diverse! And a lot of it I haven't explored, always concentrating on the far away. Jenni and I had various plans when we first started talking about a trip together. Morocco was mentioned, but with Covid and the country shutting it's borders at short notice, we decided it perhaps wasn't quite the time yet.

Easier to reach from Jenni, and cheaper to reach ... read more

My idea was to travel to a nearby town one day and home the next, so that we were not just running from place to place. So having spent a day in Venice, it was time to spend a day in Verona. We loved the nearby Piazza Erbe, translated to Square of Herbs. We read that herb shops were around the square but I did not see any. There were, however, lots of restaurants, coffee and gelato shops and shops with shoes and clothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_delle_Erbe,_Verona At the Piazza Erbe we found a very nice iced cappuccino and Zaya found her gelato so that we were all happy. We sat watching the people go back and forth. Just a few feet off of the Piazza is the Juliette House (of Romeo and Juliette). This was thought up ... read more

For our final day in Rimini we had booked a couple of sun beds and an umbrella on beach 21, the section allocated to our hotel. As the majority of this day was spent at the beach, where I had my eyes closed most of the time, I have merged today with tomorrow’s trip to Bologna and the following day - our journey home, otherwise the day’s blog would probably be ending after the next few paragraphs. We arrived at around 10:30 and were taken down a narrow boardwalk toward the sea. We were shown to a couple of sunbeds on the front row. These were ours for the day. We could come and go as we pleased. This is a highly organised business as there was an attendant at either end of the beach, making ... read more
