It's a stunning coastline isn't it? Our friends even introduced us to a vast, virtually abandoned new beach this week...how did we miss that one?

I was halfway through reading this and then suddenly I was in a dissociative fugue checking my Skymiles balance!

Thanks Gillian - I'm loving your updates and reviews from Italy...I think I need to take notes and drip feed our highlights (I got a bit carried away with excitement by doing too many places in one week!!)
