2011 Booked

Have just finalised our first holiday for 2011. Booked flights to Geneva in Switzerland and will be staying in Veyay. Flights via Aer Lingus in June are very reasonable and also found very nice little Hotel to stay right on the Lakefront of Lac Leman (Geneva). The accomodation is a little on the expensive side but you have to pay for lifes luxuries and have found there is no point staying in some crap Hotel for a week to save a 'few bob' Also the Little Hotel has a small Swimming Pool, and a little Train station is right beside. The Train actually goes up to he local Vineyards, hence the name of the train translates 'The Train of Vines'. From Vevay you can get trains to almost everywhere or boats across the lake to several destinations.
Aer Lingus are also going to fly to Perpignan in 2011. So that is a great new base to travel from. Its very near the sea, Argeles, Collioure, Cerbere. Even Montpellier is only a 2 hour train ride away. So will have a look around the area for a possible holiday.

Tuscany 2009

Some photos.
Fiesole, Assisi, and Florence. Fiesole is a small village looking over Florence. At one stage it was as big as Florence, now its a small town you can reach by local Bus. Plenty of Restaurants and Cafes and a nice place to spend an evening away from the heat and noise of Florence.

2011 -II

FLORENCE
Another holiday next year hopefully to Tuscany and this time stay in Florence. Last time in Florence the Hotel was a bit of a dump, beds fell apart, noisy guests, very hot and insects were also uninvited guests. So this time have to go up market and pay more for a better place. Probably go to the same places as before. Pisa and Siena, Lucca or Pistoa. Really liked the train trip to Assisi and want to go again. Possibly find some new places as well and spend more time in Florence itself.

2011

its been snowing all week in Ireland. Good time to cheer myself up by getting out the guide books and maps. Still going to Switzerland. Found a couple of places to stay in Montreaux. Hopefully the plan will come together. Plenty of trips on trains and boats, I have done a plan of possible places to visit and visit as many new places as possible and returning to old favorites.
