Met some fantastic chefs as each evening we sampled traditional Italian cuisine in th most glorious settings
The question “Is it a life experience?” has launched us into some amazing cultural exchanges such as volunteering in Tanzania, floating in a canoe down the Amazon, snorkeling in Alaska and walking among the wonderful creatures on the Galapagos Islands.

Bon appetit
Met some fantastic chefs as each evening we sampled traditional Italian cuisine in th most glorious settings
Room with a view
End of the trip Portevenere............Fantastic feeling to know that we had made it! Especially the treacherous track from Riomaggiore to Portevenere............Pouring rain, thick red mud, precipitous tracks, fantastic views.
How good is this at the end of the day?
Each day we walked between 10 - 15km, but don't be fooled, level ground was rare it was all up and down hills!!!Fantastic to see the villages coming into view. Each evening a different restaurant, fabulous food and usually views not only of the ocean or harbour but also unfortunatley of the first hill to be walked the next day!
Cinque Terre Italy
Is this the track?
Wow 7 days walking - If we had only known how steep and fantastic it was! Hidden Italy tour which seemed expensive at first was a great idea. Each day after breakfast our luggage was whisked away to the next hotel.
As we walked down, down, down the last hill we would wonder..."Is is that hotel, will we eating at that restaurant. Great stuff!!
England is just amazing
England is just amazing - motorways clogged with trucks from all over Europe but one quick detour to have lunch and there you are transported to another world. Lunch in an quiet churchyard open the door and there we were in Elizabethan England. Fantastic!!!
