The Bartlett Diaries on Narrowboat Hang Loose
14th July 2018 Today was our final move and we go to another agriturismo called Casale Giancesare – found this in The Lonely Planet guide and it sounds amazing – this may be because they have their own vineyard!!! Seriously though – it does sound lovely and great reviews on Trip Advisor too. So we…
13th July 2018 We are now in Paestum on the Cilento Coast, staying at Portasirena for one more night before moving on to Casale Giancesare for the remainder of our holiday. We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning – threw open the windows to this: The surroundings are glorious – mountains all around…
12th July 2018 So, today was the day we left Venice – it has been so amazing – better than amazing – I have wanted to come here for so long and it was everything I hoped it would be. If Venice is a place you have been thinking of visiting but you have maybe…
11th July 2018 Last full day in Venice – tomorrow we travel via Naples to Paestum on the Cilento Coast. First stop – the Basilica di Santa Maria – very beautiful and impressive. Bit of a rainy day today – took a stroll to find some lunch and had a lovely meal sat outside by […]
10th July 2018 Visiting Burano and Murano today so hopped on the Vaporetto and went to Murano first. Straight off the Vaporetto and visited a glass blowing factory – only a few euros – however we went into the shop afterwards and there was definitely nothing to buy for a few euros!! Murano Had…
9th July 2018 First full day in Venice and we decided to just go explore – I was keen to “get lost” in Venice, after reading The Londoner blog – who said “You haven’t truly been to Venice unless you’ve got lost in Venice” – we are hoping to go to a restaurant recommended by…
8th July 2018 Day 1 of our holiday – we will stay in Venice for 3 nights, then get a train to Naples where we pick up a hire car and drive to the Cilento Coast. I’m going to blog about each day separately – otherwise it would be one VERY long blog! We arrived…
Another camping trip – can’t get enough of them! This time we went to Hardhurst Farm Campsite at Bamford which was great – pretty basic – there’s a cafe that’s open in the mornings, but we prefer Paul to cook us our bacon cobs. So Paul and I went Friday morning and set up the…
Well, as I mentioned previously, we have a new tent and as our niece is visiting this weekend we thought we would drag her off camping in the Peak District. We decided to go back to Ye Olde Royal Oak at Wetton and camp there for the weekend, then Paul and I were going to…
Well it’s my 55th birthday and we’re off on holiday on a narrowboat with some wonderful friends that we have been having these holidays with for the last 20 something years. We absolutely love these holidays and one day we will have our own boat to retire on and just tootle around the canals to…
