Gradually it would warm up, but there were just these amazing views of the surrounding mountains which made the session that much more spiritual.
Our breakfast was great each day, with full options. It was too cold to si Read on...

In fact, took the opportunity to book the train from San Candido to Lake Bled, because I hadnt been able to do it onli Read on...
My husband and I have traveled since the very beginning of our relationship. Come to think of it; we were long distance the first 8 months we were together.

The Union Grove area was settled just before the US Civil War. In 1887 they organiz Read on...
We have a couple of things to see near to our campsite. The first is a small waterfall with a pool below that is safe to swim in. Its just across the road to our camp site. If only I had realised this yesterday Id have been in there! Not only did last nights camp site have no showers, but it had no hot water either. Apparently we could have gone to the swimming pool in town to get a showerbut as Read on...
