Thatā€™s a definite plan but a few years away.
Want to do a couple of weeks touring italy.

For now we are flight and bus types.

We have booked our holiday to Slovenia. We ae going to be staying at Lake Bohinj, then Lake Bled, a quick whizz over the Russian Road to Bovec, few days by the sea at Piran, finished off by a few days in Ljubljana. All looks fairly interesting.

It is very likely to be a slow whizz over the Russian Road tbh. Passenger a bit on the nervous side for that sort of thing.

A lovely reminder of my last trip to that part of the world in October, when I was treated to views of the area from 10,000 feet in a glider.

From Aboyne? 10,000 feet is pretty good - I see that they claim good wave soaring there.

While in Shrewsbury can you fit in a visit to Moonshine and Fuggles in Ironbridge - the gin shop chatted about a while back?

Jealous. When I was planning on doing that trip it was mostly out of service after a landslip.

Interesting video on YouTube about fixing it.
