A JOURNEY OF A LIFE TIME. MILAN TO MILAN A 8 DAY TURE OF NORTH ITALY, Via, VENICE .

30/06/ 2017 FRIDAY




 
Friday Morning Beth my daughter and I boarded a plane to Italy from Heathrow.

Beth had arranged everything and had an pack of times and itinerary of the 8 day trip

Basically I always wished to Visit Venice as part of my love and interest in history and art.

Helen my wife had been there twice so would have been somewhat of an overkill for her, and as to my eye sight a trip like this would have been too much of a struggle on my own, So Beth arrange this trip, but with many suppresses and much more than just a trip to Venice, I found myself lead to places I never would have dreamed of getting to in this life time, and it was such a pleasure, surprising and interesting and a proud moment,  being  escorted and taken on Holiday by one of my offspring. Everything was meticulously planned out booked and the armaments, Hotels trains bots and planes all went off without a hitch, stunning really, as soon as we got off a plane or train and into a hotel we were off sightseeing  every moment of the day , full , and just amassing and interesting, castles. Museums, villages, viewing points, rivers bates, islands, Roman Villars and the roman amphitheatre in Verona was a knock out and a supine. Venice its self was all that I thought and knew it would be spellbinding, we walked for miles and the boat trips Taxis where Fantastic.

To cross the bridge of sighs and the rialto amazing.

A special moment was to be taken on a motor boat to an island to a 5 start hotel for a 5 star never to be forgotten evening meal  on and outside terrace overlooking the sea, the food was stunning and the serve’s was immaculately carried out. One of them moments in life to sit there with Beth and just enjoy a moment in life not to be forgotten.  

Most of the photos are taken by Beth as I was just too busy looking around taking it all in, from two tiered Trans a train serve’s and rolling stock and timing that up our train serve’s to shame! Especially how cheap and affordable  it was. I love all the train journeys  watching Italy go by  with a bag of crisps and a bottle of coke.

Every Hotel we stayed  in was well placed and clean and comfortable, and meals in the restaurants just lasing in the sun or in the evening’s where  Perfect , and fun.

One of them Holiday’s, trips it’s a shame to stop and come home from, but a trip I will never forget and am so thankful to Beth for. Especially putting up with me that is a skill in its self .
