17th – 18th July 2018 We had a beautiful chilled out day at two amazingly gorgeous villages called Castellabate and Santa Maria di Castellabate – I cannot explain how fabulous these villages are – so unspoilt and quiet – if you like to be away from it all then the Cilento Coast is the place…
Salerno, Cilento Coast, Italy
16th July 2018 We really are having the best holiday – everywhere we’ve been has been amazing. The Cilento Coast is beautiful – and it’s so un-touristy! There’s so much to see – you could spend weeks here! Anyway, today we went to Salerno to swap our hire car and got a lovely new improved…
Paestum, Cilento Coast, Italy
14th July 2018 Today was our final move and we go to another agriturismo called Casale Giancesare. We 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 has great reviews on Trip Advisor too. So we…
Greek Temples at Paestum
13th July 2018 We have now travelled to Paestum on the Cilento Coast and we are 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….
Bye Bye Venice – Sad to Leave You
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…
Venice – Day 4
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 […]
Still loving Venice – Day 3
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…
Venice – Day 2
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…
Hello Venice
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…
Camping – Hardhurst Farm, Bamford, Peak District
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…
