| Page Views: 7,931 | My Travels and Diary by sandysmith - last update: Apr 5, 2009 |
I decided to make a list of places where I have travelled to as I found my memory was ailing - I was forever saying what year did we go to such and such a place. I've also noted that as the years have gone by we seem to take more and more holidays and short breaks - but I'm not complaining :-)
You'll find I've enjoyed doing the city breaks and typically tourists things - like with the Tower in Pisa ;-) |
| solitude on a mountain top in Vinca, Itlay |
|  | More often than not you'll find me hiking in the mountains - with aid of cable-cars where possible! Switzerland, Austria and Italian Dolomites are my favourites. I'm just as happy in the off the beaten spots like this - a remote hilltop in Vinca, northern Tuscany. |
In earlier years we enjoyed sunshine hols - Turkey was a favoured cheap package hol for us. Just loved lazing on the beach then or sunning myself on lazy boat trips. |  | |
