My Travels and Diary

by sandysmith - last update: Apr 5, 2009

Typical Tourist

The tourist in Pisa
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.

 Great news, Sandy. Wish you luck with it. We are off to Germany in August but just for two weeks, a visit to D's family. I'll get a few beery spots in too. ;) Been working a bit myself as of late. Have a great weekend.
