Don't do abroad anymore, though if my brother ends up in Spain, then it might be an excuse to visit Barcelona again...
Herself is the traveller and she's off to Venice [again] and Madrid [first time]...
She is also looking at Sicily for next year... Any advice from someone that's been?

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Oops yup know where you mean, love Venice, trouble is its just full of tourists. 😁
Done Sicily several times. Taormina is fantastic, as is Syracuse. Palermo is mad busy, and not a place to get lost in. Catania is smaller than Palermo but is another great place to visit. There's lots to see, and two weeks is filled pretty quickly.
if not hiring a car, stay in Taormina, and preferably near People's park.

Went to Marmaris last year and they weren't a problem. There was a lot of wasps as our hotel was round the bay in the forested part but they pretty much left us alone

At Stampede time? Did Calgary a few years ago, loved the Stampede, went on to Vancouver by train via Banff. Did Toronto, Niagara, Quebec & Ottowa last year, enjoyed Ottowa the most out of those with Niagara & Quebec a close second, didn't much warm to Toronto as a city.

Nice. I recommend visiting Sirmione, Garda, Bardolino and Malcesine. There's a cable car up to the top of Monte Baldo at Malcesine and there are superb views. You can get buses or ferries to each town.

Thanks Tongo , we will look into that , but probably will not have time to do too much , if we like it we will go back though
Loved Vancouver, travelled all over Burnaby BC, Victoria was great also, and so friendly when they knew your were a Brit. Did the glass top train through the Rockie's, it was breathtaking. Travelled back up through Calgary and then right up to Southern Alberta to Medicine Hat where I was stationed.
