Wet but Wondrous: The Italian Lakes
There was still more of Piedmont to explore as we reached the lakes. But the bad weather returned with a vengeance. The weather was a bit more February than May but we had some dry days and made the most of them.

Finding our Bliss in Piedmont, Italy
Italy… there is a reason it’s one of the most visited countries in the world; it’s fabulous. Iain and I took our very first vacation together 27 years ago.

Leaving the Pyrenees behind, we continued through the South of France with the goal to get to our campsite near Monaco.

Horses, Sand and Fun in El Rocío
El Rocío is like nowhere else we have visited and we’ve been to quite a few cowboy towns on our travels.
