It looks just divine MF. Easy to see why you would want to stay. Can't wait to see your pics of Tuscany  :)

Enjoying your photo's Norma.  Thanks Gert for making it possible for us to "travel" with her.  Enjoy the next few days.  I just loved Tivolli as well and realized a dream to visit Villa d'Este and it's gardens.  Would have loved to have also made it to Hadrians Villa but time didn't permit - next time!!!  You will also love the farm visit for dinner as they have good wine & food.

In Rome now after a wonderful trip around Italy. What can I say except wow!!! Beautiful towns, scenery and historical monuments, churches etc and best of all bunch of fabulous people. We are here until Monday and then fly to Copenhagen where we have one night before our connecting flight to Moscow where we meet up with friends from Melbourne. Sleepy now as we just had a big meal and a few drinks with friends. Looking forward to the next stage of our trip  ;D
