We visited some beautiful cities, including Pisa, with its famous Leaning tower, Cathedral and Baptistry. It really has the "Wow" factor as you pass through that archway.
I enjoyed Florence with all its beautiful architecture and statues. Unfortunately the queues to the Accademia Gallery where the beautiful marble statue of David now stands were too long, but I took a pic of the fine replica, where the original once stood.
The highlight of the week was the wine tasting on Thursday accompanied by some tasty treats.
The last night was great too with a performance by 3 tenors and a pianist at the beautiful venue in the Spa park in Montecatini Terme where our hotel was situated.
Lovely hotel, nice staff and though I wasn't keen on some of the food, I coped OK - made up for it with the delicious ice creams, pastries and savouries when we were out and about!
We met some lovely people there and whatever time I have left I will remember this fantastic holiday forever.
Heathrow airport was a bit of a nightmare though!
