Ciao Milano!

To be honest, Milan was not on top of my must-visit places, but when the opportunity arose, I was glad I paid this fashionista city a visit. 

Artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, the maestro Giuseppe Verdi, fashion designer Giorgio Armani all lived and worked here. Full of attractions, history, and architectural treasures, there is no shortage of places to admire.

Beaches and Bays of Kent

When the sun shines in the UK, you absolutely must 'make hay while the sun shines'.

I jumped on an early train from St Pancras and 1.5 hours later, I arrived in Broadstairs to be greeted with azure skies, sandy beaches and breathtaking vistas all around.

I decided to make the 3 mile/5km journey from Broadstairs to Botany Bay on foot, which took me over an hour as I kept getting distracted by the beautiful scenery.

Bucket list adventure - Paragliding

I had a dream.

Dream of stretching out my arms, closing my eyes and flying high, up in the sky seeing the world with a bird's-eye view and experiencing the ultimate freedom.

I woke up early just as the sun was about to rise.

After having walked miles touring Verona, I could not wait to head to Lake Garda for a bit of me time.

I checked into the Grand Hotel Fasano.

Verona's Charming Corte Realdi

After couple of nights in Cinque, I moved on to their more traditional sister hotel. 

Right in the heart of the old town tacked away in narrow alley, I found Corte Realdi.

Fair Verona & Aida Opera

To awaken in a strange town is exciting - you are surrounded by adventure.

Second day was filled with exploring Verona's charming old town.

I visited square after square. Church after church.
