Travelling through Greece, Italy, southern France and Spain was a unforgettable experience. There are many places I promise to revisit to soak up the history and culture, and enjoy festivities and food offered at certain times of the year. Since returning home I have continued to enjoy mojitos and sangria cocktails in our Australian summer.

Extraordinary architecture, including some beautiful churches is something I loved to explore. Gaudi’s work is just jaw-dropping and mesmerising to see. I have noted 2026 as the year to return to Barcelona and witness the completion of the cathedral.

Then on the other hand the Greek island Santorini’s vast white against sapphire oceans is a breath taking view I think we should all see in our life.

The Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terra are top of my list and once you see the photos you’ll understand why. Postcard picturesque landscape at every turn. Just tell yourself the eternal number of steps you climb to get anywhere is great for toning your legs.

After experiencing the Amalfi Coast I have planned Zane’s story from Charming the Outback, to be set along this rugged but beautiful coastline. First I have three books to complete. The good news Playing the Game is almost finished.

Now Bowie and I are planning our next adventure, and I can’t wait to discover another part of our wonderful world.
