Busy Betsy is back from Italia

It's been a while but we have just come back from a fabulous holiday in Italy. It was just wonderful, very relaxing, great weather, good company, fabulous food, totally away from  the last few dreary weeks here. I could write essays about the fabulous food (gnocchi in saffron sauce in a basket from melted cheese was the best!) the great sites, boat trips, etc but I will leave you with just a few impressions.....

We went to a wonderful wedding in Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany where we stayed in a lovely mansion called Casalecchi. The cake brought over from Holland is being assembled ....


In Riva did they not only have parking spaces for drivers with children but also just for women! No comment.....


Lake Garda was just beautiful


View from our hotel room in Pisa, we couldn't get any closer to the tower. I could certainly recommend Hotel Ariston.


I loved the green apple juice in Pisa, the gecko's on the wall at dinner time and the watch sellers calling out 'Playboy' to Mr Betsy just made me laugh.
