Is is nice however knowing that you have months that you can travel and can change your mind about things when you like, opposed to only have 1 or 2 weeks of holiday time and trying to pack lots in.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-61395787544369405772017-03-19T04:41:53.644-04:002017-03-19T04:41:53.644-04:00Yes, I think there is.

It is times like that when we realise that we need to just settle down in one place for a longer length of time and visit things near by. This is one of those times.<br /><br />In a village this small gossip travels fast! ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-79723612867964907082017-03-19T04:12:42.266-04:002017-03-19T04:12:42.266-04:00We knew that we wanted to go hiking in the Cinque ...We knew that we wanted to go hiking in the Cinque Terre National Park so from there Kevin would start looking at the prices of the accommodation and anything around La Spezia was pretty pricey at least for us so then he would widen the scope of his search and came up with the cute little place up in the mountains. It suits us fine and is away from all the hustle and bustle closer to the National Park and we know that from here we can do lots of hiking right from our door without having to even drive anywhere.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-80122258542155478682017-03-18T19:54:37.765-04:002017-03-18T19:54:37.765-04:00Ah, decisions, decisions -- such are the joys of r...Ah, decisions, decisions -- such are the joys of retired people!
