Travel

[carole9908]

I love travelling - I get very itchy feet if I don't have a holiday booked to look forward to (like now..) I think I'm quite a bit older than most of you, so I've had more opportunity to travel. We always have at least 2 holidays each year in the UK - we book a cottage somewhere & explore the area. Having been married 26 years now, that means I've seen a lot of the UK. It really annoys me when Brits just poo-poo the UK for holidays - it has a fantastic variety of places to see.
I have also seen quite a bit of Europe - only the Balkans has escaped me really, the USA, Canada, and quite a bit of Asia - Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, China, Hong Kong (both before & since the handover) & the Philippines. I have also seen a bit of South America - I backpacked around Venezuela & down to the Amazon in northern Brazil. For our silver wedding anniversary, we took a trip from Lima in Peru across South America to Rio de Janeiro, taking in Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, La Paz, Buenos Aires & Iguassu Falls along the way. If you get the chance to go to Iguassu, jump at it, it is absolutely stunning!
