Yes its early for my review as I don't go while next week but for those interested in following our trip I intend to blog about the holiday on a daily basis. A sort of live review.

Did this on the Xmas in Croatia holiday and got lots of positive feedback so thought would do it again (assuming the hotel has free wi-fi).

Can follow it here :-

Hi Mick

Great to see the photos! For all the ups and downs was a great holiday and we sure had lots of laughs. Feel better though after a rest from those loooong walks!!!

Loved your blog and read the whole lot together, thank you for the heads about Siena. The photos though, wow does not describe it. Loved 109 with the poppies. As I am going on the Flavours of Tuscany in October with my sister, I wll make sure she sees the photos as well :thumbup:

I have been reading the daily blog with interest Mick. Sounds as though a good time was had by all in spite of the lack of bacon! :thumbup:

Your weather certainly looks as though it was better than when I went! Have just briefly looked at your pics. I like your new car!

Hi Martin,

Yes think you'll enjoy it i do think the mix of walks and touring days really suited me, its a very good formula. Hope it proves popular and JY add more of this type of holiday.

Just added a summary post to my blog.

Elaine,

Yes the weatherwas good apart from one soaking we got and a bit chilly last day (the wine soon warmed us) but will point out only one of the group was brave enough to wear shorts (even in the snow) :D

I noticed!! I only ventured down to the main Piazzo once in Sienna when I went because the weather was so bad, and I found it quite slippery. I feel awful because I meant to tell you before you went of a nice little bar I found just across from St Catherine's Church that did decent, reasonably priced grub. I forgot!! 😞
