Here we go……

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in you sail. Explore. Dream. Discover – Mark Twain

Join us on our most complex trip yet,  as we circle Northern Italy and Switzerland, using planes, trains and automobiles – ferry across the Adriatic to Split, pop on up to the Czech Republic before a relaxing finish in Koh Samui, Thailand.

Our adventure begins in Milan, then a journey to the Switzerland via the Bernina Express, we will explore the Swiss Alpine town of Chur before heading to the Swiss lakeside town of Lugano. From there we will traverse the Italian Lake Como, viewing lifestyles of the rich and famous in Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna.

Then it’s back to Italy for a meet up with cousins and friends in Bologna, home of ragu (not bolognaise!), parma ham and balsamic vinegar.  While there we will day trip to Florence, Venice and Verona.

Then it’s ciao Italy as we ferry it across the Adriatic to the Croatian seafront town of Split where we will spend five days immersing ourselves in the ancient town and soaking up the Adriatic sun.

Before we leave Europe we will have a quick visit to Prague to soak up some more “olde worlde” atmosphere,

To ease ourselves in to the fact that holidays are followed by a return to reality we will spend five days relaxing in a Koh Samui resort trying really hard to do nothing at all!
