Petra was fantastic the balloon trip over Cappadocia was incredible the castles and Roman remains were all if not more than we were expecting.

Hiking in the Cinque Terre and cycling in Lucca were the highlights. Local trains and buses and staying in small often family run hotels certainly minimized our impact.

I loved the whole holiday but the people on the holiday were so great that they will remain in my memory for a long time. Sarajevo was perhaps the place I liked best for many reasons. Budva was beautiful.
