Oh my goodness... I'm reading this on a rainy grey autumn afternoon in southern Australia and I can't get enough of your stunning blue-sky photos.

Beautiful Italy
You really do Italy justice in your blog entry here, I felt as though I was travelling along with you. I love how you interspersed your visits with hiking and sightseeing, along with enjoying some good food, wine and down time along the way. And what a smooth journey both there and back, well done! 😊
