We have previously written about the Palio, and the factors to consider when booking a Palio position, This time we thought we would give you some ideas as to where to eat in SIena. We would recommend you reserve a table at any of them as it can get very busy during the Siena Palio!

 Congratulations to Bobbie Holland who won the Northern Lights Photo competition for March

Recently I took a 4 day trip to Lulea to see how it fit into our Swedish Lapland programme. Whilst there I got to experience all the activities we offer...Hovercraft, Icebreaker Voyage, Tree Hotel Sweden as well as meeting our main guide Graeme who coordinated a brilliant trip.

 We are often asked by our clients who on a Verona Opera Trip with us where to eat in central Verona- Here are our top favourite recommendations

Verona Opera 2012 

The majority of our clients choose the Verona Opera 2012 short break to attend the opera at the Arena di Verona. However, most of the travel plans that we offer allow plenty of time for sightseeing with the Verona Pass which allows unlimited bus travel and access to most monuments, churches and museums across the city - we thought we would give you some suggestions based on our own experience and the feedback we have received:
