Wish List

Just before booking the last or next holiday really, I decided to do up another list of possible destinations. Decided to write down 15 places I would like to visit and then did the old David Bowie trick of cutting up the list into 15 bits of paper, put them into a bag and made a list on what came out first. I have decided I dont have to stick rigidly with the list. Have to take into consider where Mum would like, the time of year and what special deals might be on offer. The list is as follows:
Sorrrento (Including Naples, Capri, Amalfi Coast)
Cologne (Bonn, Wupperthal, Konigswinther )
Beauvais (Giverney, Rouen, Amiens)
Barcelona
Budapest
Southern Belgium ( Thuin, Charleroi, + Lille in France)
Prague
Zurich ( St. Gallen, Appenzell, various Swiss Railway Journeys)
Berlin
Majorca
Collioure ( Southern France )
Porto
Austria.

There are still many places to visit and revisit. Also if it wasnt such a rip off a trip on the Orient Express train. However at nearly 2,000 euro for 1 day and night it can wait a few more years or just remain on the wishful thinking list. Also must go and see the Monaco Grand Prix, also very expensive.
The next trip is off to Florence with side trips to Assisi, Pisa, Siena also planned. Also hope to go to Maranello to see the Ferrari and Maserati museums and catch a glimpse of a red Ferrari being tested around the streets of the town. Will have to make do with a scale model Ferrari instead of a full sized one for now.
Maybe one day will be able to go on the Orient Express to Venice, then on the Maranello to pick up my new full sized car, could of course get the Chaffeur to deliver it to the railway station in Venice then race back to Monaco just in time to view the Monaco Grand Prix from a private Yacht. Wishful thinking!
