Sardinia

North or south? Or in the middle? (Is there anything in the middle?)

[Holders]

I've always fancied Sardinia but I have a new puppy so we're going to Scilly this year so I don't get tempted to over-walk him.

Two weeks in Austria next year. Lovely country.

No mountains or countryside?

Agreed. About 5 years ago I was toying with the idea of moving to Zell Am See. Lovely little town on a stunning mountain lake. Winters for skiing, summers for sailing and golf, and plenty of schnapps and grostl to go around up at Schnapps Hans' bar on the top of the Schmittenhöhe.

Italy for Honeymoon

Venice then onto Florence and then the Almafi coast for 5 days in September

[Riversider]

I'm very lucky this year, Orlando last month, Australia in May, Canada in September and then hopefully a couple of days Ashes cricket at the WACA (or the new stadium ) in December .
Anybody else going to Oz for The Ashes ?

Iceland

MJG - if you're not already decided and budgets can fit, I can without hesitation recommend Hotel Ai Cavalieri in Venice and Hotel Brunelleschi in Florence.   Both historically interesting and luxurious buildings in quiet parts of those cities yet close to the main attractions.

Iceland

Interesting.

Sardinia

I remember going there in the early 90's. Me and the girlfriend rented a L hand drive Fiat Punto and drove from the North Airport to where we were staying in the south. Using an old map, we drove all the way along the coast and not knowing where we were really going, it took us 5 hours, with some scary coastal hairpins along the way. A few weeks later, as we were getting ready to leave, I showed a local barman the route we were going to take and he laughed before he showed us an updated map of the one we had , which showed a main highway running right up the middle of the Island. Before the days of internet, we had no idea, used that route and were at the airport in double quick time.

I remember there being then, a statue of Gianfranco Zola somewhere near Cagliari, and the amazing thin crust pizza, you could almost snap it in the middle. Was a lovely place, but I didnt really appreciate it then.

As for holidays, after living abroad for 12 years, we are quite enjoying the UK. We have a caravan on the beautiful East Sussex countryside near the coast, where we have BBQ's, go fishing , play golf, and relax. An hour to get there, & stress free getting home. No intention of going abroad again for at least 5 more years.
