Travel in my Footsteps

     I have thought about writing a travel blog form a long time. I was never sure if I did enough to interest people. Then I thought I will never know unless I give it a try. So here I am about to start.

     I have a deep love for Scotland and never need an excuse to to go. I can assure you that Scotland will feature heavily in this blog. I love to get out in the beautiful countryside with my husband Dave and our dog Star. We have wonderful adventures together. My favorite area of Scotland is Skye. We used to go every summer with our touring caravan, but like for everyone else in the world things changed with the Covid19 pandemic. The world seems to be getting back to normal now and we are hoping to get to Skye again in the summer.

    Another favorite of mine is Italy. We first went to Italy together in 2016. We got some money from an insurance policy and decided to spend it on a holiday. We chose Rome and could not have chosen better. For me it was love at first sight. At the drop of a hat I would live in Rome. Its a beautiful and amazing place, full of history, but also a modern and vibrant city. We have been back twice since that first visit and plan to go back again at some point.

    Our next trip to Italy was Sorrento. we went on a package tour with TUI and i can only say the hotel was not the best. We stayed in The Hotel Grand Flora. We do plan to go back to Sorrento again and we certainly be staying in a better hotel. We did a lot of arranged bus tours which gave us some insights into a lot of places. We didn't spend enough time in any of them, so next time we go we will be arranging our own days out.

    Well I'm almost up to date. Tomorrow we are off to Verona for a week. Its is going to be the first main feature of this blog, so I hope you will join me for the trip.

    We arrived at Varona Airport at 10.05 local time. We are staying the Hotel San Luca. I was a bit worried about the hotel as it is on a little back Alley. I had no need to worry, its a lovely hotel, the rooms are nice and the bathroom has a waterfall shower which is always good as far as I am concerned. We unpacked and headed out for our first bit of exploration. Five minutes ftom the hotel and you come to the Arena of Varona. I had my first Aperol with lunch. It will not be my last. It was delicious. We found the Castelvecchio which was closed by the time we found it but we plan to come back. We found some Roman Ruins that were uncovered when they started to build an underground car park. We found a Roman Arch on the Riverside. We had coffee and cake. I love a good coffee and this was a good coffee. The cookies was also delicious 😋  Our first day went very well. Tomorrow we start some serious sight seeing.
